Ключові характеристики:

  • Optimized Circuit Architecture: Features an optimized circuit architecture with a newly developed ultra-low noise input stage, improving balanced input noise performance and increasing input impedance to 20kΩ for enhanced compatibility. The revised gain architecture further reduces noise and distortion at high gain settings.
  • Усунення шуму заземлювального контуру: Includes a GND/LIFT switch to eliminate ground loop noise when multiple devices are connected. If ground loop noise occurs, switch to LIFT to resolve it.
  • Aurora UI: The Aurora UI provides a new user experience with a full-color screen and three touch buttons. Users can switch between playback information, FFT, and VU meter displays.
  • Relay Volume Control: Equipped with a relay-based R2R volume control module, ensuring precise and consistent volume adjustment with long-term reliability, even at low levels.
  • Навушники Ampлібератор і PreampФункціональність лайфера: Functions as both a powerful headphone amplifier and a high-performance preamplifier. It features low output impedance (RCA: 500Ω, XLR: 100Ω) for broad compatibility with various power amplifiers. A comprehensive remote control is included for convenient operation.
