iFi Diablo 2 Review - A Portable Powerhouse

The iFi Diablo 2 packs a lot of power into a portable chassis. With battery life up to 12 hours and up to 2W of RMS power, the Diablo 2 allows you to connect any headphone you own, wherever you are. In this review I cover what's included, some specs, the impacts of various settings, and my opinion on sound quality.

Thank you for this comprehensive review and introduction to this equipment. Rather, a pricey item, but for portable solutions, it may be an option for some. Take care, Sir, and all the best.

you saved me some time

Can’t wait for that caldera closed video 🙂

We need more companies to do gaming amps. Outside of creative, there still aren't great options with low latency.

Have you had a chance to audition chord mojo 2? Love to hear what you think of it.

[ScottHermanFitness]

I don't what what it is... but I want one already. 😁

Hey Joe, I believe you said you were going to Axpona. I know you have had some time with Alta Audio speakers at your home. I would be interested in hearing your thoughts (from memory) how you think they stack up to the Borresen X series if you listened to them at the show.

Are you going to check out the ifi zen dac 3?

[bgbl]

anything cheaper ? like the Moondrop DAWN Pro

[olternaut]

Yes, as another commenter mentioned, thanks for mentioning the freaking $1300 price from the very start. I just want a good but inexpensive DAC to go along with an IEM that I'm still deciding on. Leaning heavily toward the Antlion Kimura Duo. And also trying to find a decent DAC to go along with it so I can adjust volume or other settings without having to dive into software.

[JQURNEY]

What would be the best audio/dac combo for everything all around gaming / music? I saw a couple but new to the pc space

[bryce]

Please review the xDuoo XD05 pro dac amp. It seems to be getting hype.

Hi there. You have best videos about xbox headphones on youtube I found so far.
Excuse me to ask you not for the topic of this video. I heard on one of your videos that some headphones can connect via aux and bluetooth simultaneously, but I can't find any information on the topic. May you tell this feature name or explain how to find those headphones?
Cause for a poor choice of wireless headsets on consoles, I think on a side that to connect any bluetooth headphones via aux cable to controller and be able to use bluetooth for another device in the same time. Similar to "dual wireless" on original xbox headset. Is it even possible?

Thank you

Many prefer the iFi iDSD Signature Finale for that smooth sound many people crave which stands in contrast to the Diablo 2. It's also cheaper, also built very, very, well. and deserves the highest praise.
