The Diablo 300 integrated amplifier’s optional internal DAC module draws heavily on the innovative engineering that inspired the highly acclaimed Gryphon Kalliope digital-to-analogue converter. Critics around the world praise the breakthrough design and performance of the Kalliope.

The Gryphon Diablo 300 DAC module adds five high quality digital inputs to the amplifier’s standard complement of five analogue inputs: one gold-plated Swiss Neutric XLR socket for a balanced 110Ω AES source, a single TOSLink optical input, dual gold-plated 75Ω BNC sockets with Teflon insulation for two S/PDIF components and a single USB input.
With the DAC module on-board, the Diablo 300 displays the selected digital source, sampling frequency, PCM or DSD audio format, SuperCap power supply status (charging or fully charged) and active digital filter setting. For PCM sources, fast or slow roll-off digital filter settings are available. For DSD sources, choose between 50, 60, 70 kHz (-3dB) bandpass filters.

The Diablo 300 DAC module is fully isolated in an independent aluminium housing with grounded panels and is impervious to HF radiation, eliminating any risk of interference with the amplifier stages or the optional Gryphon phono module.
The DAC module for the Gryphon Diablo 300 integrated amplifier can be factory installed or fitted at a later date.
