iFi Digital Analog Converter V2 Aluminum DAC

Description

Product Overview

The iFi V2 Digital‑Analog Converter (DAC) is a compact, plug‑mount and tabletop unit designed for audiophiles who demand precision and clarity. Housed in a CNC‑machined aluminium chassis, the V2 combines durability with a sleek, modern aesthetic. Inside, a Burr Brown True Native converter processes PCM and DSD streams up to 32‑bit/384 kHz and DSD256, delivering rich detail and natural tonality. The unit offers both RCA and USB 3.0 (backward compatible with USB 2.0) inputs, and dual 6.3 mm (¼”) unbalanced outputs plus a 4.4 mm balanced output, giving flexible connectivity for headphones, active speakers, or an external amplifier. With a weight of 1.79 lb and dimensions of 6.3″ L × 4.6″ W, the V2 fits comfortably on any desk or rack.

Usage

Designed for desktop, home‑office and small‑room hi‑fi setups, the iFi V2 excels in a variety of listening environments. Connect it to a computer, laptop or digital audio player via the USB‑C port to stream lossless files, then route the signal to high‑impedance headphones or powered speakers using the 6.3 mm or 4.4 mm outputs. The variable analogue volume control and PowerMatch feature allow seamless matching of output levels for in‑ear monitors (IEMs) and over‑ear headphones, while the TrueBass function adds controlled low‑frequency lift for smaller drivers. Whether you are mixing tracks, gaming, or enjoying a movie night, the V2 provides a transparent audio bridge between digital sources and analog playback devices.

FAQ

Can the V2 be used with a smartphone?

Yes. Using a compatible USB‑C to USB‑A adapter, you can connect the V2 to most Android smartphones that support USB audio output. iOS devices require a Lightning‑to‑USB‑C adapter.

Is the analogue volume control perfectly balanced?

The analogue volume knob may show a slight channel imbalance when set below the 9 o’clock position. This is normal for the design and does not affect overall sound quality. For optimal balance, keep the volume between the 11 o’clock and 1 o’clock positions.

What sample rates does the V2 support?

The V2 handles PCM up to 32‑bit/384 kHz and DSD up to DSD256, covering all major high‑resolution audio formats.

Do I need external power?

The unit is powered via the USB connection, eliminating the need for a separate power adapter.

Is the V2 compatible with iFi’s software upgrades?

Yes. Firmware updates can be applied through iFi’s desktop utility, ensuring you benefit from the latest performance enhancements.
