The iFi Retro Stereo 50's DAC's design is based on the award winning iFi micro iDSD. It uses Minimum Phase
(44.1kHz-192kHz) and Bit-Perfect (352kHz or above) filter for the best sound.
•
For connection to Apple devices, the Apple USB Camera Adapter is required. For connection to Android
devices, an OTG cable and appropriate OS support are required. For more information, please refer to
www.ifi-audio.com.

the last connected device. If it cannot find a previously connected device, it will go into
Auto-pairing mode for 5 minutes before falling back to Sleep mode.
•
Under Sleep Mode, a previously device can be connected to the iFi RETRO Stereo 50 by
paired
selecting “Connect” on the smart device.
Under Sleep Mode, for a previously device, one needs to put the iFi RETRO Stereo 50 into

The 3D HolographicSound® system for Speakers and Headphones corrects a fundamental flaw in the
#
stereophonic recording process, which distorts the presentation of space and instruments with the
recording space. Both speakers and headphones are affected, however in different and one may say
opposite ways.
•
The RETRO Stereo 50 implements the required corrections for both Headphones and Speakers in the form of
iFi 's 3D HolographicSound® matrix analogue signal processing, specially and separately optimised for
speakers and headphones. This feature is of benefit to all speakers by improving the focus and clarity of the
sound stage and to headphones by reducing or eliminating "in head" localisation.
•
The changeover is automatic, with speakers playing, 3D HolographicSound® for speakers is selected; with
headphones playing (headphones plugged in), 3D HolographicSound® for headphones is selected.
•
The 3D HolographicSound® system can also be used to expand the sound field to improve the sense of width,
height and depth for greater listening pleasure or to compensate for sub-optimal speaker placement.

•
Please note that the above settings are guidelines, feel free to try and find the optimal settings that suit your
environment, recordings and Speakers/Headphones.
•
For use with the RETRO LS3.5, it is recommended to set the 3D HolographicSound® System to the following
configurations:
1. If the distance between the speakers is less than 1.5m, use the “ ” setting.
2. If the distance between the speakers is more than 1.5m, use the “ ” setting.

#
At the dawn of stereo recording in the 1930s, a fundamental problem was documented by the 'father' of
stereo sound recording – Alan Dower Blumlein. Due to the shape and size of the human head, stereo
separation is greater at high frequencies than it is at low frequencies due to the crosstalk between the two
ears at low frequencies.
A similar problem was found in the late 1950's by Ben Bauer for headphone playback of stereophonic
recordings, however here the problem was the excessive separation of low frequencies by the two separate
"on/in ear” transducers producing a sound field stuck in the listener’s head. With hindsight it is clear this is
the exact flip-side of the problem documented by Blumlein.
Despite this problem being 'known' for 80 Years (or over 50 Years for headphone listening), very few
recordings and no playback system compensate for this issue and little research has been conducted on how
to correct this.
The 3D HolographicSound® System corrects the above issue by applying the correction separately for
Speakers and Headphones (which need different and opposing corrections) and hence it is recommended
to at least use the “ ” setting for the most accurate sound stage reproduction.

Loudspeaker Outputs
Connection method: Loudspeaker cables
S t e p 1 :
RIGHT LEFT
SPEAKERS
4 - 1 6 O h m
Connect the left LS3.5 loudspeaker to the LEFT SPEAKER output on the iFi RETRO Stereo 50 and vice
v er sa .
Tip:
•
Normally is it preferably to decouple the loudspeakers from the shelf/desk they are placed on.
It is recommended to place the speakers at ear-height, with around the same distance between
•
them as the distance to the user.
iFi has included the following for proper decoupling:
•
1. anti-slip mat
2. silicon rubber feet
•
Please select your preferred decoupling item. The silicon rubber feet are usually used when
the LS3.5 is positioned on its side, so the silicon will raise the LS3.5 to the same height as the Stereo
5 0 A m p l i f i e r f o r a m o r e c o h e r e n t l o o k a n d f e e l .
•
Depending on the positioning of the 2 loudspeakers, please experiment with XBass and 3D
HolographicSound for the best sound. Please refer to the “XBass” and “3DHolographicSound”
s e c t i o n s f o r m o r e d e t a i l s .
The loudspeaker grille is acoustically transparent, attached by magnetic force and is replaceable.
•
•
The included loudspeaker cables are made of very high quality silver-plated OFHC copper with
T e f l o n i n s u l a t i o n f o r t h e b e s t s o u n d .

Headphone Outputs
The iFi RETRO Stereo 50 has two headphone outputs (Normal and Turbo) to suit different
headphones:
3.5mm socket (normal drive): connect normal sensitivity headphones and In Ear Monitors (IEMs)
•
h e r e .
6.3mm socket (Turbo drive): connect low sensitivity headphones here.
•
Tip:
When a headphone is plugged in, the iFi RETRO Stereo 50 will automatically mute the speaker
•
output.
As the 3D HolographicSound system is different for Speaker or Headphone playback, when a
•
headphone is plugged in, the iFi RETRO Stereo 50 will automatically select 3D HolographicSound
for headphones.
