With 2000mW per channel of balanced power, a complete set of analog and digital inputs including Bluetooth 5.1 with LDAC, and XLR balanced line outputs, it anchors a serious headphone desk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eType and Technology\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe AK4191EQ digital modulator and AK4499EX current output DAC separate digital and analog conversion for very low noise, supported by a six stage fully balanced circuit and an internal linear transformer power supply with isolated digital and analog rails. Dual THX AAA 788+ modules provide clean, low distortion amplification, and the XMOS USB stage handles PCM to 768kHz\/32-bit and native DSD512.
