EverSOLO DAC Z-8
DAC-Z8 is a compact audio decoder with excellent workmanship and high per- formance. Coming with the 3rd integration of XMOS 316 and ESS flagship ES9038 Pro DAC chip, the decoding formats support up to DSD512, PCM 768Khz@32Bit and MQA full decoding. It has exceptional sound quality, good preamp performance and strong headphone driving force. Rich inputs make thedevice be a good partner of high end headphones and stereo speakers
ESS flagship ES9038Pro DAC is known as the industry benchmark, with relatively lower total harmonic distortion level, extremely low noise and distortion. Let's enjoy the authentic high-fidelity music experience.
Benefited from development engineers' rich experience in analog circuit design, DAC-Z8 has professional calibration and circuit design. The total harmonic distortion ratio which has
been measured is -124dB (0.000062%), signal-to-noise ratio and dynamic range are 133dB.
These industry leading indicators are solid foundation for good sound quality.
The 3rd generation XMOS 316 has faster processing speed and better USB bandwidth, which
ensures lossless transmission for high-definition audio data. USB output supports DSD512 Native, PCM768@32bit and MQA full decoding. Optical and Coaxial output support DSD 64 (DoP) and PCM192@24Bit.
Two low jitter clock oscillators (45.1584MHz and 49.152MHz) are integrated in DAC-Z8, which correspond to 44.1 KHz and 48KHz multiplied sampling management. Audio decoding is more accurate.
DAC-Z8 I/V circuit is made up of 8pcs of OPA1612. The multichannel signal shunt compensation technology has been adopted, 8 OPA1612 correspond to 8-channel output for I/V signal conversion, then output to 2 channels in parallel. In addition to high-precision resistances, it helps amplifying XLR, RCA and headphone output signal lossless, improving channel separation, dynamic range and the sound integrity.
The analog audio circuit is fully balanced design. XLR, RCA and headphone output are all processed by a bal- anced differential amplifier circuit. The noise has been eliminated by resolving the crosstalk of the shared loop and improving channel separation. The high-fidelity preamp circuit supports refined volume adjustment, without needing to connect with an additional preamp.
In order to reduce the possible signal interference of the RCA and XLR simultaneous output, Z8 RCA and XL are output separately to achieve higher audio indicator and better audio performance. For sure, RCA and XL can be output at the same time by setting manually.
Different digital filter modes in DAC setting to meet different demands, there are 7 PCM filters
and 4 DSD filters for you to choose.
DAC-Z8 has rich ports for digital audio input, including Coaxial, Optical, asynchronous USB DAC, Type-C for computers and mobile devices. APT HD Bluetooth audio input can be used to connect with computers, streamers, CD players and mobile devices etc.
Low-noise regulated power supply module and dedicated audio filter capacitor are tailored for DAC-Z8. It powers for audio circuit and ensures clearer sound, with low ripple and less interference.
The professional headphone driver circuit in DAC-Z8 has excellent audio indicators and strong drivingforce, which means DAC-Z8 can be used as a high-performance headphone amplifier and drive16-300ohm HiFi headphones, with both high and low gain output options.
DAC-Z8 can be easily controlled by mobile phone with the EVER SOLO Controller APP.
DAC-Z8 is made of aviation aluminum, processed by NC workmanship, coming with a stable body structure. It is a combination of exquisite appearance design and modern elements.
