The Diablo 2's connection layout has been thoughtfully crafted for optimal efficiency and easy use.
The volume lock switch prevents accidental volume adjustments while on the go.

Plenty of outputs for your listening needs with the iFi Audio Diablo-2
Got headphones with a 6.3mm jack?
..or IEMs with a 3.5mm connection?
What about your headphones with a 4.4mm connection?
The Diablo 2 has you covered. No matter the listening device, you'll be able to plug in and enjoy.
And just like the outputs, you can feed the iDSD Diablo-2 with any source as well.
Streamers. DACs. PC. Smartphone. Bluetooth. DAP. USB source. You're all covered.
Your headphones should be scared of the Diablo 2.
Diablo 2 is the most formidable DAC/Amp on the planet.
By utilizing features such as PureWave, DirectDrive, OptimaLoop, and Advanced Jitter Reduction Tech, it'll produce exceptionally clean and pure sound like no other.
Sound so detailed it rivals dedicated desktop DAC/Amps.
Not to mention its power capabilities:
5180mW (@32Ω) on the 4.4mm output.
The iDSD Diablo 2 - taking flight.
The Diablo 2 can be positioned horizontally or vertically with its (4) included wings to save space.
Incorporated into the winged design are its 22 rails for improved cooling performance.
Eight of these rails are compatible with the included wings, enabling desktop stand use.
Sublime energy sources for clean listening.
The Diablo 2 can be powered by battery or mains for clean listening performance.
By running on the battery, you avoid common mains issues like RFI/EMI pollution.
But that doesn't mean that battery is your only option.
If desired, use the included iPower 2 power supply for similarly clean performance with iFi Audio's specialized power-cleaning technology.
Burr-Brown Chipset
The Burr-Brown True Native® chipset means file formats remain "bit-perfect" (unchanged). This means you are listening to music as the artist intended in the format in which it was recorded.
iFi uses Burr Brown extensively in their products because of its natural-sounding ‘musicality’ and True Native architecture.
Direct Drive
DirectDrive® makes a direct signal path which means less signal degradation.
This direct signal path makes the sound "true" - meaning your music outputs at its highest potential.
XMOS 16-Core Chip
The XMOS 16-Core chip processes the USB digital input.
This low-latency XMOS microcontroller has greatly enhanced processing power. Compared to the current generation of eight-core chips, this 16-core IC delivers double the clock speed (2000MIPS) and four times the memory (512KB), as well as the latest SuperSpeed USB standard.
PureWave Topology
PureWave is a new, balanced, symmetrical dual-mono topology with short, direct signal paths.
The name refers to the sonic purity it achieves thanks to exceptional linearity and incredibly low levels of noise and distortion.
