Thank you for purchasing the Diablo 2 from the Diablo series. The iDSD Diablo 2 is a balanced USB and Bluetooth Ultra-Res
portable DAC + headphone amplifier
1. Single-Ended 6.35mm output
Connection for 6.35 single ended headphones . Please use 3.5 to 6.35 mm adaptor for 3.5 single ended headphones.
Tip: With a new pair of IEMs/Headphones, ALWAYS start with the volume no higher than 9 o' clock and with the Power Mode (item 4) set to 'Normal' .
2. Balanced 4.4mm and xMEMS analogue output
Connect balanced 4.4mm headphones. See the next section for instructions on using the xMEMS headset.
Tip: As iDSD Diablo 2 is balanced, we recommend the 4.4mm output.
3. xMEMS Mode ON/OFF
This mode is specifically designed for xMEMS headphones. To use xMEMS headphones, please enable xMEMS mode.
Tip: xMEMS transducers are a piezoelectric technology that has specific drive requirements, and can only be used when xMEMS mode is on.
Warning: With xMEMS mode on, please connect xMEMS IEMs to the balanced 4.4mm headphone output only (item 2). It is not recommended to connect other types of headphones while xMEMS mode is on. To
connect those, please turn off the xMEMS mode before connecting.
Tip: If the mode is used incorrectly, such as plugging xMEMS headphones into the balanced 4.4mm headphone port when xMEMS mode is not turned on, or plugging regular balanced 4.4mm headphones into the
balanced 4.4mm headphone port when xMEMS mode is turned on, please don't worry about damage to your headphones or your hearing, but it will result in distorted sound.

demanding over-ear headphones.
