So to get on track with our next review the iFi Audio iDSD Diablo arrived at our desk and since its release, it has gotten lots of attention amongst some audiophile circles. What about the common saying of the devil in the detail? iFi Audio has attempted to conceptualize this in some of their latest devices and are using the jingle on a couple of their products now. The Devil’s tritone was once banned in Europe because it supposedly summoned the devil himself.

It’s a musical interval composed of 3 semitones which during the history of music has been used many times in many songs and in different forms and genres, not just in Rock music but in Classical and Jazz as well. People like Jimmy Hendrix and Black Sabbath used it in like for example the beginning guitar riff of the track Black Sabbath back in 1970. Have you ever heard of something called ‘Diabolus in musica’, ‘el interval demoniaco’, or the Devil’s tritone? You probably have.
