The xDSD Gryphon
The xDSD Gryphon redefines portable audio by excelling in both digital and analog domains - a rare feat in the world of portable DAC/amplifiers. Like its mythological namesake, it combines two powerful elements into one exceptional device.
At its heart, the Ultra-Res digital stage featuring Burr-Brown MultiBit technology works in perfect harmony with the PureWave analog section, delivering an impressive 1,000mW of power. This combination makes the Gryphon a formidable partner for high-end headphones.
The device's architecture separates its key components - Bluetooth receiver, DAC, and amplifier - each optimized for peak performance. It accommodates a wide range of inputs, including USB and S/PDIF for digital sources, plus 4.4mm and 3.5mm connections for analog devices.
In terms of wireless capability, the xDSD Gryphon stands at the forefront of technology with its QCC 5100 series Bluetooth v5.1 implementation. It supports an impressive array of codecs: aptX Adaptive and HD, LDAC, HWA/LHDC, standard aptX and its Low Latency variant, AAC, and traditional SBC Bluetooth.
What sets this device apart is its sophisticated signal path: from the QC5100 receiver, through the Global Master Clock for jitter elimination, to the Burr-Brown DAC. While this approach requires additional engineering effort, it results in wireless performance that rivals traditional wired connections.
