These chips control the distortion within 0.00016% and provide linear volume control and accurate reproduction of audio sources. The analog IV and LPF circuits use four high-performance TI OPA1612 operational amplifiers, with 28 high-precision resistors at an accuracy of 0.1% and a low temperature drift of ±25PPM. This provides an accurate and stable RCA output.

The Khadas USB driver provides ASIO support and removes the latency and sample rate conversion issue experienced with the default Windows USB driver for DACs. What does MQA stand for? MQA(Master Quality Authenticated) is an award-winning audio codec technology. The master MQA file is fully authenticated for high sample rate audio and is small enough to stream and download. What is balanced-RCA? A new balanced audio connector standard, designed by Khadas for small form-factor desktop DACs. It is backwards compatible with standard RCA plugs and cables. How do I use my existing XLR-3 equipment with Balanced-RCA? Purchase the Khadas Balanced-RCA to XLR-3 adapter, it is a male Balanced-RCA plug connected to a male XLR-3 plug.

Powerful AmplifierPortable DAC with ESS ES9038Q2M DAC has been paired with four powerful OPA1612 operational amplifiers, and three buffer amplifiers. This 3-stage amplification pathway enables Tone2 Pro to drive a wide-range of demanding audiophile-grade headphones with impedances of up to 150 ohms.
Power-Noise Isolation. Balanced headphone amp includes a 4.4 mm balanced headphone jack in addition to the standard 3.5 mm single-end jack. The Tone2 Pro's aluminum enclosure incorporates a hybrid digital/analog volume control knob, allowing you to rely entirely on analog signal attenuation for accurate sound reproduction. you can connect a 5V linear power supply to the second USB-C port whilst having USB-C data on the first for excellent power-noise isolation.
Compact Design khadas dac amplifier has a bespoke design that is unique to the DAC world. Its slim aluminum enclosure accommodates many features. The size is more portable. Lightweight design, perfect for carrying in your pocket wherever life takes you, your music never stops. We also added an industry-first balanced RCA line-out.These novel RCA ports have three signal pins instead of two, yet retain the same size and form factor as regular RCA ports.

Customer Reviews
The quality of of sound this DAC produces is astounding. I have been using another DAC, which shall go unnamed, for a year and on a whim thought I'd try this Tone2 Pro out. I use the device with a Sennheiser 650 headphones. Wow! what a difference this makes on those headphones. Brilliant, deep, flowing music, without a trace of diluting or loss. And, in its own way, it is a nice looking device too.A warning however: the single funtion knob is a trial of patience. There is nothing intuitively obvious about it, there are so many modes, functions, operations and attunements that are done with a "Push" and a "Twist," it is overladed and cannot be just intuitively implemented. The "manual" they enclose, and replicate as a PDF download on the website are no help in learning how to use this thing. A button or two might have helped. Hint: push the knob from top to bottom, from the back side to the front -- not down.After being frustrated and confounded by this device, I went back to the reviews here and was helped by being guided to the YouTube video on the Khadas website. While it is annoying to get through, it does give a demonstration that gets one over the hump of using this thing.In the meantime, enjoy the sound of the music this device gives you.
