HP-A3mk2
32bit D/A Converter
Main Features
- ES9016K2M from ESS Technology is used as the DAC chip
- Using the high-quality DAC chip, supported sampling frequency has been greatly enhanced to 192 kHz. Users can enjoy higher quality sound without sacrificing ease of use.
- The analog circuitry has been newly designed to match the higher supported sampling frequency, and has achieved performance of high-end products, including improved THD (total harmonic distortion).
- Gain switch to accommodate various playback sources
- The headphone output amplifier gain can be switched between HI and LO positions.
- The HI position provides 10 dB increase in volume over the LO position. The HI position is effective for low-level input signals and can be used with a variety of playback sources.
HP-A3mk2 32bit D/A Converter
The HP-A3mk2 is a USB DAC that operates on USB bus power. USB audio and optical digital audio signals from a PC can be converted to analog signals and output from the line output and headphone output. It operates with the USB Audio 2.0 driver of a PC (Windows or Mac OS), and can be used immediately after connecting the USB cable and performing with simple settings.
