The Gryphon Diablo 120 redefines the concept of an integrated amplifier, embodying the same ethos, musicality, and sonic qualities as Gryphon Audio Designs’ most esoteric offerings, but at a fraction of the cost. Through the dedicated work of the Gryphon team, this integrated amplifier has emerged as a serious, respected High End component, delivering legendary Gryphon performance and styling at an unprecedented level of affordability and ease of use.

Introduced as the original Atilla in April 2009, the Gryphon integrated amplifier quickly gained acclaim for its ability to compete with the finest separate components on the market. Praised as a "Best Buy" by French Haute Fidelité magazine and hailed as "one of the very finest integrated amplifiers available" by UK magazine Hi-Fi Choice, the Atilla remained in production until 2016, a testament to its exceptional longevity in the world of High End audio.

Drawing heavily on the advancements made with the Gryphon Pandora preamplifier and Mephisto power amplifier, the Gryphon Diablo 120 represents the next generation of the Atilla lineage. Designed with Gryphon founder and CEO Flemming E. Rasmussen's unique vision, the Diablo 120 exudes timeless elegance and beauty.

Crafted entirely at Gryphon’s Danish research and development and manufacturing facility, the Diablo 120 inherits the dual-mono circuitry, ultra-short signal path, and high-quality components of Gryphon's flagship models. The satin black, brushed aluminum chassis and gleaming black acrylic faceplate offer a superb level of fit and finish, blending exceptional audio finesse with a sense of unlimited power.

Featuring two independent mono devices, the Diablo 120 minimizes crosstalk and interchannel interaction. The custom-made 1,300 VA transformer, along with discrete secondary windings for left and right channels, provides substantial power reserves. With an output power of 2 x 120 W (8Ω), 2 x 240 W (4Ω), and 2 x 440 W (2Ω), the Diablo 120 can easily drive even the most demanding loudspeaker loads.

The Diablo 120 employs zero global negative feedback and a unique microprocessor-controlled passive attenuator for transparent volume control. A large, graphical vacuum fluorescent display provides space for more information and a larger, easily legible font. Touch-sensitive controls offer a modern, intuitive user experience.

For those seeking additional features, the Diablo 120 can be fitted with a Gryphon DAC PCM/DSD module, offering four digital inputs and supporting PCM up to 32-bit/384 kHz and DSD up to DSD512. Alternatively, an exceptional MM/MC phonostage option is available for vinyl enthusiasts.

In conclusion, the Gryphon Diablo 120 delivers music with poise, subtlety, and definition, combining lightning reflexes with harmonic richness and refinement. It offers a unique level of musical enthusiasm and energy that will satisfy and delight for many years to come.
