Description
iFi Audio's new iDSD Diablo2 features twenty-two rails for improved cooling performance, with eight of these rails being compatible with the Diablo wings, enabling desktop stand use. Offering 3 power modes: Normal for IEMs, Turbo for mid-sensitivity headphones, and Nitro for demanding headphones, boasting a 19.2V maximum output. The Diablo 2 comes with four wings that you can customise to position it horizontally, like a desktop DAC/amp, or vertically to save space. A switch underneath activates iFi’s iEMatch technology. This feature is tailored for high-sensitivity headphones and earphones, greatly benefiting your in-ear monitors (IEMs). It removes background noise and increases the usable volume range.

Let customers speak for us
from 193 reviewsQuick to respond and ship, reliable support. This is how everyone should behave.
Clearly an all around improvement over my Denafrips Iris. Increased detail and micro detail, dynamics and micro dynamics, tighter bass. Solid build, great value.
Seemless, quick and helpful
Paired with rega brio and rp6 makes a wonderful system
Fantastic product. Exceed my expectations. Paired with rega turntable and speakers makes a really solid sounding implemetation
Dealt with Nick and Noteworthy audio a number of times now and each experience has been exceptional!
end game DAC!
You need patience with this DAC as it is a slow but steady burn-in period. After a few weeks it's the end game DAC for myself. It's not cheap, but you can pay a lot more for something else and maybe get a very marginal difference. Thanks to Nick and Noteworthy Audio!
Communication was fantastic
Had to take advantage of the loudness setting to tame down the brightness through my tannoys. Now I’ve got a great sounding modern complement to my vintage gear. Communication on a supply delay was fantastic and much appreciated from noteworthy.
Best streamer I have ever owned. Music is crystal clear and bass is strong and controlled. Would highly recommend. If your budget allows, I would imagine the Lumin U2X would be even better.
Everything about my experience with Noteworthy has been very positive. It's just taking awhile for me to figure it out. My television does not support the ARC system is it possible to buy an adapter? Thanks Andy
l am ln love with the EVO ONE! My delay in responding is due to my lack of understanding of the current technology. ÉVO ONE and I have been slowly getting to know each other. The last time I bought hi fi equipment the CD was the latest technology. I must say that the AI that answers questions is very thorough which is a surprise for me. Eventually I will understand the entire system in the meantime learning this unit is fun. I do have a question though, my television doesn't support the ARC system which I believe is required to use the EVO ONE with a television.is there an adapter available? Thanks Andy
Purchased it with both c201 and r202 DAC cards. I won’t go into a lengthy description as that sort of review is readily available online.
I own 4 other DAPS (along with 4 tube headphone amp set ups and 4 desktop solid state headphone amp set ups). And 18 headphones. In each case I have had to use an equalizer to fit my old hearing. Well, using the Cayin c201 and r202 this was the first time I did not have to equalize. So right out of the box the sound was detailed, holographic and just the right balance between bass, vocals and high notes. This was with the Meze 109 Pro. Then I tried the very difficult ATI-AP2000Ti and without equalizing is still sounded like listening out of a tin can, but, with equalization, it came into its own and sounded great, using the r202 card.
Anyway, highly recommend purchase of you have a headphone collection and are serious about tuning the setup to get the best out of your investment.
Communication with Nick was amazing since first moment. He informed me about device delivery time promptly and clearly. After the device arrived, I visited Nick personally and he showed me his showroom and we spend some time talking about various aspects of hi-fi audio. Nick is very knowledgeable with years of experience in the field, so with my any future needs in hi-fi or Hi-end audio I will definitely contact him again.
Astell&Kern SP4000T blows my mind every time I listen to Hi-res files from my archive, especially in tube amp mode that I prefer. The sound quality is phenomenal. I never expected a digital music can sound so great. Paired with Thieaudio Prestige LTD earphones and in tube pentode mode music sounds the best I ever heard. The DAP is not cheap, but definitely worth every penny. Game changer.
