D.A. Hybrid Amplifier Circuit: a revolution in sound amplification

Our non-feedback S-Master technology maintains the purity of digital sound. Our new D.A. Hybrid Amplifier Circuit takes this one step further, enhancing its precision and sound quality with an analog feed-forward amp. The analog amplifier corrects the conversion error caused by switching amplification.

 

Supported sound formats

Enjoy up to PCM 32 bit/768 kHz and DSD22.4 MHz sound formats.

 

Φ4.4 mm balanced connection jack

Φ4.4 mm single balanced jack is a new standard for headphone balance connection. Its clear channel separation offers accurate reproduction and wide sound space

 

Input connections

The amp features several terminals to support a variety of input devices, including Walkman®, TVs and Playstation® consoles

 

Output connections

The amp utilises a variety of headphone output connections, including both balanced (4.4 mm, 3-pole mini plug x2 & XLR4) and unbalanced (stereo standard plug, stereo mini plug).
