The iDAC2 is the all-new 2015 version of the award winning iDAC. It is a totally new design that has drawn upon the widespread praise garnered by the nano iDSD and micro iDSD.
The Burr-Brown chipset has become an integral part of the iFi Audio DNA. That is True Native® playback on DSD and PCM, this means the iDAC2 (and all other iFi DACs) will keep the integrity of the file format unchanged all the way through. So DSD stays DSD and PCM stays PCM. From beginning to end. You hear it as the artist intended. iFi’s unique approach to outstanding sonic performance and exceptional value for money is well-known. From 16/44 through to Quad-Speed DSD256, the iDAC2 is able to handle all these formats with consummate finesse.
The iDAC2’s analogue stage has two special audio grade, Elna Japan Silmic II (the highest available grade and likely the best audio grade electrolytic capacitor money can buy)

No need to upgrade for a long time to come.
The soundstage the micro iDAC2 produces is vast, making your music sound as if it is coming from outside the width of your speakers or the confines of your headphones.
