A$700 is ambitious for a used iFi xDSD Gryphon, sitting well above the median of A$498 and the 75th percentile of A$606 in our recent AUD listings database. While external sources suggest a typical used range of A$400–A$600, this asking price exceeds that upper bound by A$100, making it a tough sell unless the unit is mint with full warranty and original accessories.
The Gryphon remains a standout portable DAC/amp thanks to its Burr-Brown multibit DAC, PureWave amplification delivering 1W at 32Ω via 4.4mm balanced, and support for hi-res formats up to 32bit/768kHz PCM and DSD512. Its XBass II, XSpace, and iEMatch features add real versatility, and the 3,600mAh battery offers solid all-day use. If this listing includes the original box, cables, and warranty proof in pristine condition, it could justify the premium; otherwise, buyers should wait for a listing closer to A$500.

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.
