The iFi Audio NEO iDSD Balanced DAC/Amp stakes its claim to fame in the audiophile world as one of the earliest adopters of all the major high-resolution formats: DSD512, 768-kilohertz PCM, 384 kilohertz MQA, and a whopping 96 kilohertz over Bluetooth. This, when taken as a set, makes it an excellent, full-featured DAC/amp combo capable of tackling as much resolution as you can throw at it Read More
I want to know how much output power it has, but in normal English that has been being used for the past 80 years. Meaning watts/milliwatts. What’s stated, on the XLR balanced output is - Output power (XLR): 6.3V/7.7V max variable, with Impedance (XLR) @ 100 ohms. Can someone educate my dumb ass and translate this? I understand that different cans have different impedance but should t this still have read the rated watts at 100ohms? Or a more popular rating like 32ohm? It feels like marketing jargon bullshit. Thanks
jlutgringA tantrum? Clearly you have no clue what that is. Add it to the list. And my parents probably wouldn’t be pleased with my behavior. Who’s are? I know I’m sometimes not pleased with my childrens behavior. I wish I could be the fly on the wall the first time someone throws a tantrum in front of you. Usual Drop lurkers. Smh
ZelenizecThat information should be here, in the product page, though, that's the point. Why list a relatively meaningless spec when you could state the spec everyone cares about instead?
OP, the information is somewhat buried but here you go:
Balanced
>6.4V/68.6 mW (@ 600Ω)
>5.77V/1040 mW (@ 32Ω)
Unbalanced
>3.25V/17.6 mW (@ 600Ω)
>3V/295 mW (@ 32Ω)
I've thrown enough tantrums in my life (Bipolar) that I can spot them a mile away. I suppose the point of this whole conversation is that one can get so much more help when one asks for help in a nice way. At least, that's my 74 years of experience anyway. Sorry, I gave you such an attitude initially. Damn that human imperfection! Oh yeah, I've come to agree with you. Headphone amp manufacturers really like to beat you to death with specs. What helps me is to read as many reviews as I can tolerate. They give me more of an idea of the sound quality as opposed to pure specs.
You're so smart; Google it or, better yet, use ChatGPT. That way, you can vent your audio inadequacies on something that won't be offended by your 'bullshit.'
jlutgringSurprise! There’s an asshole in Drop. Rofl. Awesome help, neighbor. Did you really think I couldn’t come to that conclusion? That’s the same answer to literally every question anyone has EVER has in the history of humanity. If I knew where to start, I would. I’m so smart? Huh? I literally explained how I DONT KNOW this. Please, go get a hug.
You are right, this has to be a print error. 4.4 mm is balanced, 6.3 mm is unbalanced. There is not such thing as a 4.4 mm unbalanced or a 6.3 mm balanced.
This is version 1 . NEO 2 has been available for s few months here in UK.
Version 2 packs a lot more power [4x) and several upgrades and has been praised by all reviews available. Nothing wrong with this version . It's now obsolete and being cleared out at fantastic value here on Drop. I'm waiting for a price drop for NEO 2 though!
