The xDSD is also MQA ready straight out of the box. Use with Tidal Masters on your computer or mobile.

The convenience of Bluetooth® means your headphones connect to the xDSD, leaving your phone or chosen device wire free. Pop the xDSD in your pocket and it’s business as usual but with much better sound.

The xDSD boasts both aptX™ and AAC™ Bluetooth® for CD-like quality. With standard Bluetooth®, the sound quality drops by 30%, not so with the iFi Bluetooth® implementation. Just a little iFi magic for you!

With amazing amplification, driven by 500 mW of power, the xDSD handles almost any headphones and it easily partners up with active home speakers.

And, of course, we’ve included our exclusive optional ‘sonic fine-tuning extras’ to add further nuances to your listening.

xBass+® cleans and restores the bass to give you a richer, deeper sound and 3D+® opens up your music to bring a live-concert atmosphere into your living room.

iFi’s exclusive S-Balanced technology means that you gain the advantages of a balanced connection even when using an unbalanced one.

On headphones this means lower distortion, less interference, and reduce crosstalk.

The battery lasts up to 10 hours and ‘smart’ tech ensures you enjoy optimum listening time adjusted according to your usage. The xDSD has a separate USB charging socket.

And finally, with its metallic chrome finish and elegant, ergonomic design, based upon the Japanese Zen garden, it puts the ‘x’ back into sexy.

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.

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

• Windows 7 - Windows 10 Compatible
• OSx 10.7.5 - 10.11 Compatible

Portable USB-DAC and headphone amplifier DA-10 provides Denon's audio performance on par with top sound systems of separate devices in a compact size and equipped with high-capacity rechargeable lithium-ion battery of 3200 mAh, for many hours listening pleasure anywhere, even on the road.

Excellent audio performance from your digital music sources
With many mobile devices, headphone amplifier section is mostly designed for low power consumption for extending battery life. While this is satisfactory with normal headphones with top type headphones, the sound performance suffers.
The DA-10 features advanced analog output stage, with the possibility of treatment of a very wide range of types of headphones, including top type models headset and studio-quality headphones, which are often high impedance and require more power than the output stage.
A mounted sideways gain switch allows you to adjust the gain of the output stage for a perfect combination with your favorite top headphones, including high impedance models, and the final analog output module has a separate power cache circuit for perfect listening experience. There is also the possibility steady output for connection to an external audio system.

High quality audio technologies
Located in an elegant aluminum chassis with solid volume slider aluminum alloy, the DA-10 is equipped with Denon's exclusive technologies for superior music listening experience. With the most sophisticated converting digital signal to analog, the DA-10 is equipped with a heading reference Burr-Brown PCM-1795 32-bit high resolution DAC chip, that can treat multiple sampling frequencies up to 192 kHz, and bit depths up 24 bits. The DA-10 can also decode high-resolution DSD audio tracks (the type found on SACDs), and has the ability to decode DSD files 2.8 and 5.6 MHz.
The AL32 proprietary technology Denon using our inventive DSP digital filtering, sampling upwardly and processing algorithms for converting upwardly and patterning high-resolution digital audio noise at 32 bits, providing drastically improved low-level details and disappearance deformation.

Design Net for music lovers
Equipped with Class Reference Burr-Brown PCM-1795 DAC chip, the DA-10 has a leading manufacture for music lovers, including dual master clock crystals, each optimized for specific sampling frequencies and located right next to the DAC chip on the sound board for maximum reduction in distortion. The digital section features asynchronous treatment USB signal for maximum stability and sound quality, and the DA-10 is equipped with the exclusive Denon AL32 advanced DSP digital filtering and shaping-noise, providing the highest resolution possible with current HD tracks.
There are separate circuit cards for digital audio portion and the power portion for avoiding interference between the steps, and the portion of the D / A converter is capable of decoding the wider range of sampling frequencies (up to 192 kHz) and bit depths (up to 24 bits ).

Compatibility with a wide range of Mobile Devices
The DA-10 is available with many connecting cables for compatibility with the widest variety of portable music players and smartphones. The USB-30 pin cable is compatible with many devices of Apple, including iPod, iPod touch, iPhone and iPad. The USB-Lightning cable is compatible with newer devices of Apple, including the iPhone 5 and 6, iPad Air, and other models with the wiring Lighting.
There is also, USB-micro "B" connector for compatibility with other smart devices, and is also included analog stereo 3.5mm-3.5mm cable to connect to a headphone output of a player, the cables with angled plug for secure connection.

Add and digital connectivity to an existing Hi-Fi system
At home, the DA-10 can still make your analogue Hi-Fi digital-compatible system. Connect the constant-level analog output of the DA-10 to the analog input of your Hi-Fi amplifier, then digital streaming music from your PC via micro USB-B input at high resolution up to 192kHz / 24bit or DSD64 (2.8MHz ) and DSD128 (5.6 MHz).
