iFi Diablo 2 Review - A Portable Powerhouse

Ғылым және технология

The iFi Diablo 2 packs a lot of power into a portable chassis. With battery life up to 12 hours and up to 2W of RMS power, the Diablo 2 allows you to connect any headphone you own, wherever you are. In this review I cover what's included, some specs, the impacts of various settings, and my opinion on sound quality.

    Thank you for this comprehensive review and introduction to this equipment. Rather, a pricey item, but for portable solutions, it may be an option for some. Take care, Sir, and all the best.

    Yes, as another commenter mentioned, thanks for mentioning the freaking $1300 price from the very start. I just want a good but inexpensive DAC to go along with an IEM that I'm still deciding on. Leaning heavily toward the Antlion Kimura Duo. And also trying to find a decent DAC to go along with it so I can adjust volume or other settings without having to dive into software.

    Hey Joe, I believe you said you were going to Axpona. I know you have had some time with Alta Audio speakers at your home. I would be interested in hearing your thoughts (from memory) how you think they stack up to the Borresen X series if you listened to them at the show.

    I went to the show, yes! I still have Alta at the house now, and also listened to the X1 at the show. The X1 has a tighter/lighter bass with much more treble energy. The Alta Alyssa has much deeper and more impactful bass. Vocals are more forward on the Alta, and they too have a little more treble energy than neutral but aren’t nearly as bright as the X1. Hope this helps!

    Hi there. You have best videos about xbox headphones on youtube I found so far. Excuse me to ask you not for the topic of this video. I heard on one of your videos that some headphones can connect via aux and bluetooth simultaneously, but I can't find any information on the topic. May you tell this feature name or explain how to find those headphones? Cause for a poor choice of wireless headsets on consoles, I think on a side that to connect any bluetooth headphones via aux cable to controller and be able to use bluetooth for another device in the same time. Similar to "dual wireless" on original xbox headset. Is it even possible? Thank you

    We need more companies to do gaming amps. Outside of creative, there still aren't great options with low latency.

    Perhaps down the road but I really need to catch up on other product reviews first, sadly. I have a lot of projects I'm working on at the moment but the Zen 3 looks great! As does their new Phono preamp

    Really depends on how much money you are willing to spend :D the world of audiophile products is blasted with great stuff from like 200€/$ to thousands of yer coins xd ifi like mentioned before offer great stuff in the "lower" price Segment, also fiio has some too or topping DX5 or DX7pro are nice products aswell. it also depends on the needs of your connections. I for myself ran a fostex hpa4bl for years due to it being able to switch between speakers and headphones effortless and its really small formfactor :)

    Many prefer the iFi iDSD Signature Finale for that smooth sound many people crave which stands in contrast to the Diablo 2. It's also cheaper, also built very, very, well. and deserves the highest praise.
