ifi iEMatch 2.5

The perfect gold-plated match!

For those with dedicated hi-res digital audio players (DAPs) that offer a 2.5mm balanced output.

To hear everything from the high-pitched jingle of a tambourine to the deepest rumble of a kettledrum, you need a wide dynamic range.

With great DACs, DAPs and headphones, the sound of EVERYTHING will be boosted, including the self-noise of the source AND the sound level.

Plus some higher end headphones and IEMS add to this by being sensitive themselves.

To build a system around an expensive high-resolution headphone amplifier and then use it at a comfortable (not to mention safe) listening level means you have to turn the volume down to about 60% of its capacity and this will decrease both its dynamic range and audio quality.

It’s like watching HD TV with some of the pixels from the screen missing. You will also have lost around two bits of resolution.

This device ‘attenuates’ the volume and safely enables you to crank up the digital volume on your DAP without painful consequences! This equals more music information being conveyed, the best dynamic range and your missing bits back for the full high-resolution music experience!

At the same time it works on that background noise, allowing little or no interference with your enjoyment.

It uses premium components from 6063-TS aluminium – magnesium alloy through to the signal transfer cable which is a 6N silver copper matrix.

The whole is even better than the sum of the parts – it just makes for the most transparent, enjoyment of music.

Travel the world.

Includes a velvet pouch, gold-plated airplane adapter and memory foam contoured ear plugs.
