DAC/AMP

ESS® SABRE9018Q2C

The ESS® SABRE9018Q2C integrated DAC/AMP is capable of reaching -115dB THD+N to provide playback that conveys all the subtlety and nuances of the audio track. The improved resolution derived from the ESS Hyperstream™ DAC architecture expands the soundstage to give a better sense of positioning. And the 121dB DNR provides an extremely low noise-floor, further accentuating dynamics and punch.

ESS® SABRE9023P

The ESS® Sabre Hi-Fi ES9023P digital-to-analog converter creates a perfect balance for top-tier audio clarity capable of -94dB THD for superior front-panel output.

RC4580 HEADPHONE AMP

Provides the perfect current and voltage for true-to-life tonality and spacious sound imaging

OP AMPLIFIERS

The two operational-amplifiers are utilized to supply the front panel headphone output, ensuring adequate voltage and current to drive headphones to their full potential.

Codec

CODEC S1220/S1220A

The SupremeFX S1220/S1220A delivers exceptional RMAA performance, reaching 113 db. It comes with 10 DAC channels, simultaneous 7.1-channel playback, independent 2.0-channel output, and multi-stream stereo to the front-panel outputs.
