Notable as an unusually versatile portable DAC/amp, the xDSD Gryphon combines Bluetooth, USB and S/PDIF with both 3.5mm and 4.4mm outputs, plus serious balanced power. At A$510, this is a fair price: it sits above the A$462 median but below the A$533 75th percentile from 29 recent comparable listings, so it is not a bargain, though hardly out of line.
The appeal is its genuinely broad connectivity, capable LDAC and aptX Bluetooth support, punchy output and roughly all-day battery practicality. Balanced power around 1W into low-impedance headphones gives it useful headroom, while XBass and XSpace add welcome flexibility. With condition listed as unknown, confirm battery health, charging, display and both headphone outputs, and check that the USB and S/PDIF accessories are included. If it is clean and complete, A$510 is a sensible buy; a little negotiation would make it stronger.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
iFi Audio is a British hi-fi technology company founded in 2012 by Abbingdon Music Research (AMR), a prestigious manufacturer of high-end electronics based in Southport, England. The venture was conceived as a way to democratize advanced AMR engineering by applying proprietary technologies developed for premium home audio to portable, more affordable devices. This strategic pivot proved remarkably successful, establishing iFi as a bridge between audiophile-grade sound quality and accessible pricing.
The brand specializes in portable and desktop audio components, with a product portfolio exceeding 50 devices spanning DACs, headphone amplifiers, Bluetooth streamers, music players, power conditioners, and cables. Flagship products include the iDSD Micro, Hip DAC, xDSD, and xCAN amplifier, all engineered to deliver high-resolution audio support and studio-quality fidelity in compact form factors. iFi has also gained recognition for innovation in wireless audio, notably with their GO Pods earphones featuring xMEMS technology and their Bluetooth-enabled DAC/amp solutions.
iFi occupies a distinctive mid-to-premium market position, offering audiophile-caliber performance at entry-level to mid-tier pricing. The company sources components globally from Germany, Japan, and the USA, and employs proprietary technologies such as PureWave balanced circuitry to minimize noise and distortion. Rather than competing in the ultra-luxury segment, iFi targets discerning listeners who demand measurable sonic improvement without premium price tags, making it a trusted choice for both portable and desktop audio enthusiasts.
