The ESS Sabre DAC chip ensuress an extremely smooth digital to analogue conversion. The analogue output stage is balanced, not normaaly seen in DACs at this price point. Balanced means less noise interference/crosstalk. All underpinned by high-quality circuit components such as C0G capacitors from TDK and fed by a precision low-noise power supply from Texas Instruments.

Analogue – connect via RCA to amps or active speakers or via the 4.4mm output to amps/speakers with a balanced input.

Digital – use the optical and coaxial connections to connect to anything with a built-in DAC and corresponding digital input; your TV, an AV amp or an external DAC in your hi-fi set-up.
