The iDSD Valkyrie is for those demanding more than pure power or precision; it’s for those who seek the power to sculpt the feel and emotion of their music. Fusing sonic customisation with cutting-edge technology, the Valkyrie hides thunderous amounts of sonic control, with K2HD Technology, DSD Remastering, six additional digital filters, and our signature analogue processing. Complete with quad-DAC architecture, 5,700mW* peak output, lossless Bluetooth, and 18hours of battery life, it is unmatched by any other portable.
Inspired by the artistry of mastering engineers, the Valkyrie features our bespoke DSD Remastering algorithmpowered by a custom-coded FPGA. Like the technology used in Sony’s mastering studios, DSD Remastering transforms any file by increasing resolution and reducing distortion, with the aim of delivering sound that rivals a professionally remastered recording.
These powerful technologies can be combined with six user-selectable digital filters, giving you more ways to experience your favourite music and discover the best for your ears.
Complementing its digital customisation suite are our all-analogue, renowned XBass IIXPresence, and XSpace processing modes:
aptX Lossless: 1200kbps
LDAC: 990kbps
aptX: 352kbs
SBC: 328kbps
We’ve equipped Valkyrie with the latestBluetoothtechnology, courtesy of Qualcomm’s flagship QCC518x chipset and the aptX Lossless codec.
Offering a maximum bitrate of 1,200kbps, aptX Lossless is the first and only Bluetooth codec currently capable of wirelessly sending CD-quality audio without losing data.
For those wanting high-res Bluetooth playback, the Valkyrie also supports 96kHz/24-bit audio via LDAC and LHDC/HWA codecs.
The iDSD Valkyrie has other innovative, next-generation technologies up its sleeve – including full xMEMSsupport
To power all its advanced features, the Valkyrie requires a serious battery configuration. Under the chassis lie four5,000mAh lithium-ion batteries, totalling a colossal 20,000mAh.
Not only do batteries provide sound free from electrical interference and noise, but they do so with enough life to last up to 18 hours of playback on a single charge – lasting a flight from London to New York… and back.
