Introduction: This is what we have wanted for a long time. We crafted, we scraped, we started over... A DAC Amp combo that truly satisfies. Technicality: The heart, ES9068AS *2, with days and days of tweaking and tuning, achieved unprecedented clarity and unmatched musicality. Design: Gorgeous from every angle. It won the Red Dot Design Award and the Golden Pin Design Award. Performance: As usual we maxed out the components we use, having 0.00002% harmonics distortion. Plus, it has our greatest NFCA headphone amplifier built-in.
ES9068AS DAC chip: With careful engineering and attention to detail from our engineering team, we are able to achieve 0.00009% THD+N by dual ES9068AS.This provides pristine sound quality.
LDAC 24bit96kHz Bluetooth transmission: DX5 has the certification of Hi-Res Audio Wireless and LDAC. It uses the newest QCC5125 chipset to support LDACIAAC/SBC/APTX/APTX LU/APTX HD protocol. To get even better sound quality from Bluetooth, we abandon the built-in DAC of QCC5125 and connect its digital signal to 2 x ES9068AS to decode. Built-in NFCA Headphone amp: The new DX5 has the NFCA circuit optimized for this unit, giving ultra-low noise and distortion. It pairs with high sensitivity lEMs and power-hungry high impedance headphones nicely.
