The nano iDSD Black Label is for those who enjoy great music on-the go.

From your phone, amplify your Spotify, Apple Music or Tidal using an Apple CCK cable or OTG cable for Android.

At home or in the office, use the USB3.0 cable provided to connect to your PC.

Res’ing it up!

The nano iDSD Black Label plays Hi-Res audio up to DSD256
so you can enjoy your tunes in the original format just as the artists intended.

Getting into MQA The nano BL is MQA ready.  Use it with Tidal Masters on your computer or mobile.

The mighty nano

The nano iDSD Black Label is small but mighty with 10x more amplification power than an iPhone.

It can drive most headphones and has our iEMatch technology built-in, so it can work with In-Ear-Monitors (IEMs).

The in-built iFi iPurifier means it delivers clean, quality music with no buzz, no hiss and no fuss!

Brilliant balancing act

The iFi exclusive S-Balanced circuit provides all the benefits of balanced outputs such as low-noise and less distortion when used with headphones and IEMs fitted with balanced wiring.

For single-ended headphones, S-Balanced cuts crosstalk in half. The benefits are ‘clearly’ audible.

Listen. Measure.

Fancy getting technical? The nano BL has a Listen option (Minimum Phase Bezier Filter) and a Measure option (Linear Phase Transient-Aligned Filter) for those who like to try a variation to the playback.

We say just switch it on, plug in your device, and listen away.

There is no going wrong with 10 hours of battery life.

The Burr-Brown True Native® chipset means file formats remain unchanged. Listen to music as the artist intended in the format in which it was recorded.

Hi-Res True Native® playback of all music formats from MP3 to DSD256, PCM384 and DXD384.

Listen to Master Quality Authenticated audio straight out of the box. Connect to Tidal Masters and check the option to stream MQA.

Our video tutorials on You Tube show you how.

iFi’s exclusive S-Balanced® circuit delivers maximum performance from single-ended and balanced headphones alike.

See our Tech Note to dig deeper.

This precise, analogue volume control is normally found on items at a much higher price point. Its transparent sonic nature delivers a smooth sound with no loss in music retrieval. It delivers the sonic goods.

Zero Jitter® equals good audio. Is it essential to have a very precisely buffered digital signal before it goes to a DAC.

We pushed the envelope even further by doing this not only with the nano iDSD BL\’s USB input, but the rest of the digital interfaces as well.

This unit has up to 10 hours of non-stop playing time. Always make sure you switch it on first and then plug in your device.

Micro DAC is a USB digital-to-analog (DAC) converter with two outputs, one analog and one digital (optical). Itʼs ideal for converting the audio from your computer into a high-quality analog format without needing to carry anything larger than a flash drive. The sound quality available from the typical headphone jack on a portable device or coming from the standard-issue soundcard found in virtually every computer leaves a lot to be desired.  Micro DAC delivers a marked upgrade in sound quality, compared to just plugging your headphones directly into your unitʼs headphone jack.

Use the 1/8-inch analog output to connect any headphones, and enjoy vibrant high-fidelity sound. There is a gain switch that boosts the signal level, so you can drive even high-impedance headphones to a robust loudness level. And since virtually all high-quality audio equipment has an optical digital input, Micro DACʼs optical digital output is perfect for driving that equipment with a pure digital signal—especially valuable since most computers do not have a digital output.

Micro DAC has a rugged aluminum housing and is USB-bus-powered. Getting professional-quality audio from your computer couldnʼt be easier!

  • Aluminum housing for ruggedness while traveling
  • 1/8" headphone output
  • 1/8" coaxial digital output
  • Gain switch for high-impedance headphones, to easily drive any model
  • Slim, small design for portability
  • Professional audio quality
  • 16-bit/48kHz audio conversion over a USB connection
  • USB-bus-powered
Requirements
  • Windows 7 - Windows 10 Compatible
  • OSx 10.7.5 - 10.11 Compatible

 

The DacMagic Plus has fantastic new features including wireless device connectivity and stunning audio performance from music of all formats. Thanks to twin DACs it instantly improves audio fidelity from all your favourite digital products allowing you to make your computer, TV, Blu-ray player and other devices a true part of your hi-fi system.

 PURE PROCESS

The DacMagic Plus works by taking a direct digital audio signal from your computer, TV or other device - bypassing their built-in digital to analogue converters.

This signal is then carefully analysed and upgraded using our ATF2 upsampling system. Once this process is complete, the DacMagic Plus outputs your music as a much purer analogue signal straight to your amplifier.

Custom developed by our dedicated team in the heart of London, DacMagic Plus is totally flexible and supports digital music of all formats. It even allows you to upgrade 24-bit music files stored on your PC for better-than-CD performance from your digital music collection.

Watch the video opposite to find out why our proprietary ATF2 upsampling technology makes such a difference to the sound produced by our DACs.

Analog to Digital Optical Toslink Audio RCA Converter/Adapter, With power adapter The ARTSOUND new * Analog to Digital Audio Adapter/Converter * converts analog Left/Right RCA-style audio connections to digital S/PDIF coax or TOSLink outputs.The unit is compact, easy to install, and operates in a wide variety of operating conditions. How it works: Simply plug in your analog audio source into the RCA jacks, then connect your digital receiving device ... So you’ve got your entire audio system running Digital (Coax or Toslink) audio, but you’ve got one old piece of equipment with analog output that is gumming up the works? No problem! Just get the Analog to Digital Audio Converter and bring your old equipment into the digital age! This compact little converter has a set of right/left RCA analog audio input jacks. It will simultaneously convert the analog audio into Coax and Optical (Toslink) Digital signals. You can connect either or both outputs to an appropriate digital audio input on a TV, AV receiver, or anything else. The converter has a digital sampling rate of 48 kHz and produces an LPCM stereo audio output signal. It is powered by a 5V DC power adapter, which is included. All the connectors are gold-plated. Note that this converter only works one way – Analog to Digital. It will NOT convert digital signals to analog!ARTSOUND VD-231 HDMI MALE TO VGA FEMALE CONVERTER ADAPTER CABLE This Adapter Cable supports resolutions up to 1920 x 1080 (1080p Full HD) including 720p and 1600 x 1200 for HDTV monitors or projectors. The gold-plated HDMI connectors provide wear and corrosion resistance to ensure a long lifespan. HDMI Male to VGA Female Video Converter Adapter Cable for PC Laptop HDTV Projectors and other HDMI Input Devices:
  • Supports resolutions up to 1920 x 1080 (1080p Full HD) including 720p and 1600 x 1200 for HDTV monitors or projectors
  • Gold-plated HDMI connectors provide wear and corrosion resistance to ensure a long lifespan
  • With this version, we added a standby function to lower the energy consumption
  • On the past design of HDMI to VGA converters, if HDMI port was connected to the device, VGA port will keep working, now, we added an environmental friendly standby function to make sure when there are no signal outputs from VGA, convertor will be at a low energy consumption, in the meanwhile to produce less heats
  • Lower energy consumption, heat-reduced, extends the life of the product; after receiving customer’s feedback that the product will get overheated, we improved the operating current of the product to lower from 220mA to 120mA
  • More stable performance and not easy to skip the screen, we improved the design of chips, mainboard and circuit to make it more stable when transmitting signal
