iFi Valrykie Headphone Amplifier/DAC

Valkyrie is the brand’s flagship transportable DAC and headphone amplifier—built not just for accuracy, but for control. Designed for listeners who want to shape and refine their sound, it brings studio-grade processing tools into a single high-performance component, allowing you to go beyond playback and into true musical customization. 

Blending portability with desktop-level performance, the Valkyrie is engineered as a complete digital front end. Whether used at a desk or moved between systems, it delivers a level of flexibility, power, and sonic authority that places it at the very top of iFi’s lineup.

Quad DAC Architecture, Reference-Level Resolution

At its core, the Valkyrie features a quad Burr-Brown DAC design in a hybrid multi-bit configuration—engineered to deliver exceptional linearity, low distortion, and extraordinary detail retrieval.

With support for ultra-high-resolution formats—including up to 768kHz PCM, DSD512/1024, and advanced digital processing—the Valkyrie presents music with stunning clarity, depth, and realism. The result is a sound that is both technically precise and emotionally engaging, with lifelike vocals, expansive staging, and powerful dynamics.

Become Your Own Mastering Engineer

What sets the Valkyrie apart is its unprecedented level of sonic control. Inspired by professional mastering tools, it includes:

• DSD Remastering via custom FPGA processing
• K2HD technology for restoring harmonic detail
• Six selectable digital filters
• Analogue processing modes: XBass II, XPresence, and XSpace

Together, these allow you to tailor the presentation of your music—enhancing depth, presence, bass response, or spatial realism depending on your system and preferences.

This is not just about listening—it’s about shaping your sound.

Extreme Power, Effortless Control

The Valkyrie is designed to drive virtually any headphone with authority, delivering up to 5,700mW of peak output power—making it one of the most powerful transportable DAC/amps available.

From sensitive in-ear monitors to demanding planar magnetic headphones, it offers effortless control, dynamic headroom, and precision. Its performance rivals full desktop systems while remaining self-contained and battery-powered.

Wireless Freedom Meets High-End Fidelity

With Bluetooth 5.4 and aptX Lossless, the Valkyrie delivers true CD-quality wireless streaming, alongside support for LDAC and other high-resolution codecs.

Extensive connectivity options ensure compatibility with a wide range of sources—from smartphones and laptops to dedicated digital transports—making it a versatile centerpiece for modern listening.

Built for Performance, Designed to Stand Out

The Valkyrie’s bold, industrial design reflects its flagship status. Larger than typical portable devices, it’s better described as transportable—offering long battery life (up to 18 hours) and robust construction for flexible use across environments.

Every detail is engineered for performance, from its internal architecture to its tactile controls—delivering a product that feels as serious as it sounds.
