Unlike Mojo, the xDSD supports the hi-res MQA (Master Quality Authenticated) format found on Tidal's Masters tier and the like. You'll get the most benefit when using the fancier audio formats out there. (iFi's cheaper sister product, the iFi xCAN, offers much the same specs but as a dedicated headphone amp without the USB port.) The Type-A USB is also much friendlier than micro USB for connecting to either Android or Apple devices. The optional Bluetooth connection is hugely practical, utilizing an aptX compression format to stream wirelessly without needlessly impacting the audio quality. Out of the box you’ll also get a velvet carry pouch and even some strips of velcro (remember velcro?) to strap the DAC to the back of your smartphone, if you're into that. The iFi xDSD is certainly eye-catching, with a ribbed metal casing and glossy finish giving a smartly premium look.
