This is my portable DAC/Amp that I purchased in 2018. It has had sparse usage since about 2020 when I got my AirPods Pros.

Still works very well. I don't use it much because the nature of my work has changed - and there is little opportunity to enjoy music.

Here is a description from iFi Audio

The nano iDSD Black Label plays Hi-Res audio up to DSD256
so you can enjoy your tunes in the original format just as the artists intended.

Getting into MQA? The nano BL is MQA ready.  Use it with Tidal ‘HiFi’ on your computer or mobile.

Also, Roon tested for simple set-up should you wish to give Roon a whirl.


The iFi exclusive S-Balanced circuit provides all the benefits of balanced outputs such as low-noise and less distortion when used with headphones and IEMs fitted with balanced wiring.

For single-ended headphones, S-Balanced cuts crosstalk in half. The benefits are ‘clearly’ audible.
