Portable DAC/amps tend to be compromised because they focus on a great digital OR a great analogue section. But not both. The xDSD Gryphon is different. Just like its mythical namesake, it is two beasts in one.
From the Ultra-Res digital stage using the Burr-Brown MultiBit at the core to the PureWave analogue power section pumping out 1,000mW and other things in-between, it takes serious headphones to tame the Gryphon.

This is our most popular headphone, driven by its popularity with audiophiles, but especially music producers and mastering engineers. Its overall tonality is neutral, which helps ensure that music mixed on
it will translate across most speaker systems. The LCD-X’s excellent transient response and accuracy allow producers and mastering engineers to hear all the details in their mixes. And with the LCD-X, you can hear their recordings as they intended.
