@iFi audio will there be a case for the gryphon? Like the hip dacs. From the reviews the Gryphon doesn’t seem to come with one correct?
When I first got the X10T II, I did do the comparisons with the DAP’s and smartphones that I had at that time and the improvement could be told on site. Very clean and absolutely no coloration (yes, even we are talking about digital).
Also love that the battery lasts like forever.
For Gryphon, I do not hear hiss but then none of my IEM’s are sensitive after all. I would leave it to other owners to comment.
There are several members here on Headfi who have been asking for a 4.4mm iEMatch for a long time, Ifi currently does not sell such a device, don't forget you have that feature built in to the Gryphon already, IMHO its one of the best features the unit has.Is there any hiss with the Gryphon?
It comes with a cloth bag that I will use to protect it whilst carrying it around in my pocket.@iFi audio will there be a case for the gryphon? Like the hip dacs. From the reviews the Gryphon doesn’t seem to come with one correct?
I’m in the same exact boat. Just wondering which one has better plug and play capability to windows and Mac. And less setup.I am thinking of Gryphon vs Fiio M11 plus
(need only usb-dac)
very interested if owners could compare
So how does it sound? I have both Xcan and Signature, so curious where this fits. I would imagine right in the middle, but would love it if it sounded as good as the signatureJust trying USB mode now after making a new USB C to USB C adaptor, thanks @ClieOS.
As its already been pointed out this covers the display and the whole Gryphon actually so its my least favourite mode, I can't see my new expensive toy.
The headphone amp stage maintains an engaging balance between sonic power and poise, no matter what it is tasked to drive – from high-sensitivity in-ear monitors to current-hungry planar headphones – with a continuous power output of more than 1000mW into a 32-ohm load available through the balanced headphone socket.
I don't own and have never heard the Sig or the xCan so I can't say I afraid. I really haven't had much time either to form a fair opinion either, plus its still shiny and new so it beats everything at the moment.So how does it sound?

What headphone do you have that requires lots of power I have the HD650 which although is high impedance it really doesn't need much power to sound good, I intend to try Gryphon + HD650 tomorrow, both 3.5mm and 4.4mm.1000mW per channel, or total? At 1% THD, or 10%?
That would be awesome.I don't own and have never heard the Sig or the xCan so I can't say I afraid. I really haven't had much time either to form a fair opinion either, plus its still shiny and new so it beats everything at the moment.
The thing about the Gryphon is its so versatile, driven from my N6ii+A02 from its Line in it sounds the best, Bluetooth is great too, I suspect that is where I will use it most when out and about, USB is good too but I don't think I will use USB that much.
When I've had more time to listen I will try and compare to other devices I own such as Hugo 2 and the original xDSD.

I don't know about that one, sadly I don't have a spare three and a half grand either.DCA Stealth but I add 105Hz low shelf +6dB
