The device does not use feedback (the voltage gain stage operates on 4 transistors and 8 resistors), four ES9038PRO microcircuits are responsible for the conversion. The noise of the power supplies is reduced radically (at first only synthesis is used and then single-ended amplification), the design is completely balanced.

    Soulnote Z-3

    The Soulnote Z-3 uses the same high-power digital transformer as the D-3. An unprecedented 260 VA high-power transformer is used to create four NFB-free discrete power circuits separated from each circuit winding. In total, it uses 16 ultra-fast SiC rectifier diodes and 70 low-power electrolytic capacitors. It provides endless expressive power with stunning clarity and directness.
