The digital-to-analog conversion unit in the model is based on the top-end ES9039Q2M chip from ESS Sabre, it can work with PCM signals up to 32 bit / 768 kHz and DSD512. A USB-C port is used to connect to the source, and there are two outputs for headphones – an unbalanced 3.5 mm and a balanced 4.4 mm. The amplification power with an unbalanced connection is 150 MW at 32 ohms, with a balanced connection it increases to 550 MW. There is a physical button on the side panel to switch the gain modes – High and Low.
