Finished in fiendish red, the iFi Audio Diablo 2 replaces the Diablo-X and boasts a number of improvements: increased headphone output, support for lossless Bluetooth codecs, MEMS technology , iEMatch, USB-C input, improved circuit design and many others.
As an audiophile, you likely use different systems for home and mobile use. Diablo 2 offers the best of both worlds with a powerful 5180mW output and balanced dual mono circuitry, making it the most powerful headphone amplifier in its class.
Devilish innovations. Diablo 2 is the world’s first portable Bluetooth 5.4 DAC/amplifier to support aptX Lossless, the only Bluetooth codec for CD-quality, lossless audio streaming.
Diablo 2’s predecessor introduced support for MEMS solid-state driver technology for the first time, which has a number of advantages:
- The response is 15 microseconds, which is 150 times faster than conventional speakers.
- 2° flat phase response for accurate audio and +/- 1° accurate phase matching for enhanced surround fidelity.
- The speaker diaphragm is made from silicon, which is 95 times tougher than plastic, reducing speaker degradation and delivering clearer mid- and high-frequency reproduction.
Due to the high voltage requirements of xMEMS, iFi has partnered with them to integrate this technology into the new Diablo 2. It uses the piezoelectric effect to create thin semiconductor speakers, converting electrical energy into mechanical energy, exciting the built-in silicon membrane to generate powerful acoustic sound waves.
