The nano iDSD Light Edition (LE) is the new entry-level DAC from iFi audio. The iDSD LE has the same DNA as the nano iDSD but without the SPDIF output, digital filter selection runs on DSD128/PCM384. Although the iDSD LE is an entry level DAC, it offers the same sonic performance as its sibling and also better than most entry level DACs and even comparable to expensive ones too. This DAC is able to play True Native meaning there is no conversion; PCM stays PCM and DSD stays DSD. This means no signal loss as it ensures the music file is Bit-Perfect. It supports Hi-Res formats up to 384kHz and DSD128. 

Timing is important in audio playback. The nano iDSD LE has received attentoin to the signal path and the clock crystals or ‘clocks’ beat with Swiss-precision to ensure the utmost in sound quality. The iDSD LE also boasts a Lithium Polymer battery which ensures 8 hours of music enjoyment on-the-go which makes it perfect to be paired to any portable music player or even smartphones.

The nano iDSD LE also features DirectDrive which means there are no output coupling capacitors. This direct signal path is without peer and is a mainstay of the iFi DAC range including the iDSD. The sonic transparency is there for all to hear.
