ESS9038Pro DAC
ESS9038 Pro DAC chip is the core component of NEO α(Alpha) audio decoding. -122db THD+N and 140db dynamic range are benchmark indicators among the industry. Support up to DSD512 and PCM768@32bit, both performance and sound quality can meet the demand of audiophiles
XMOS Audio Processor
Octa-core XMOS X216 audio processor can provide excellent digital audio processing with high-definition decoding, low latency, low jitter, and high flexibility. It also supports asynchronous transmission, PCM 768KHz, DSD 512 and 8x MQA decoding
Multichannel DSD Processing Technology
Equipped with a tailored multichannel DSD processing chip and clock reconstruction technology
Just for playing multichannel master recording music
Both multichannel DTS and DSD are supported
It is the first time to achieve DSD Native 5.1 lossless audio output from HDMI DSD port among the industry
Dual Power Supplies
With separate digital and analog power supplies to eliminate interference and improve the sound purity.
Linear power supply designed for analog audio circuits
which is composed of multi-winding large toroidal transformers
While switching power supply is for digital circuits with lower ripple and magnetic leakage interference.
With the patented technology of smart input voltage switching for linear power supply
it is compatible with voltages worldwide without flipping the switch.
Double HDMI for Audio and Video Separation
There are 2 HDMI ports for NEO α(Alpha)
HDMI 2.0a main output can output audio and video signals to 4K TV, projectors and A/V receiver
The other HDMI port(Audio/DSD) is designed to output audio signal only.
It is not only compatible with HDMI 1.4 A/V receiver but also can output DSD Native 5.1
With independent high-precision clocks and thus better audio and video performance.
Dual High-precision Clocks
There are 2 ultra-low noise femtosecond high-precision clocks for audio decoding circuit (45.1584MHz and 49.152MHz), which correspond to 44.1KHz and 48KHz multiplied sampling. Jitter has been effectively suppressed. It ensures high-precision digital/analog conversion, provides ultra-high integrity and resolution for analog audio output and reproduces the real sound details from music studio.
Multiple Digital Inputs
Multiple ports like USB DAC, Optical and Coaxial can be connected with various devices (computer, mobile phone, streamer, set-top box, CD player) to convert digital signal to analog signal by ESS9038pro DAC. No matter which way you use to play music, you will enjoy excellent sound quality.
Headphone Amp Output
6.35 headphone jack brings great convenience for headphone enthusiasts. The amp circuit adopts low ripple power supply, multi-level signal buffering, voltage and current staged amplifying processing, so that it has low noise, high current and large thrust. Two gain modes adjustment is to adapt different headphone in 16~300 ohm impedance range.
Balanced Circuit and Professional Preamp
As an all-in-one preamp, the volume can be adjusted easily by volume knob, and it can connect with power amp and active monitor speakers. Both XLR and RCA signals are processed by balanced circuit with good noise immunity. Multi-stage operational amplifier buffering and amplification, unique low-distortion filter design and independent signal loop have greatly improve channel separation, maximize the dynamic range and sound integrity.
Featured Audio Components
In order to obtain audio indicators and good sound quality, both circuit design and materials are rigorous, such as immersion gold PCB and anti-interference wiring. Audio components like 6pcs of operational amplifier, OMRON relay, WIMA and ELNA resistors are carefully chosen.________________________________
