This generation of AKM 32bit DACs features Velvet Sound ™ technology as well as OSR Doubler filtering. It also ensures an extremely low level of distortion with a generous dynamic range.\n\nIntegrated into an Android system, the DAC supports sampling rates up to 32bit 768kHz and native DSD256 (+ DSD512 software support), while ensuring minimal noise as well as pure sound reproduction.\n\nThe digital to analog circuit is accompanied by Panasonic Polymet Tantalum capacitors, allowing filtering of the power supply and therefore contribute to upgrading the in-depth signal-to-noise ratio.\n\nFinally, the analog signal at the output of the DAC circuit embeds an OPA2211 operational amplifier: a remarkable component regularly used in the filtering \/ buffering of very high-end DACs.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHuge possibilities for integration\u003c\/h3\u003e\nThe possibilities of integration and the ways of sending digital audio signal to the EM5 are numerous.

old-school analog soul. Featuring the ES9039MSPRO DAC chip, 4-channel discrete amplification, and a real analog preamp stage, it’s built for listeners who care about detail, dynamics, and driving just about any headphone. Whether you’re feeding vinyl into planar magnetics or decoding DSD512 over USB, Alpha Pro’s architecture keeps your signal clean, your volume steady, and your background silent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEngineered around ESS’s flagship DAC chip\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ES9039MSPRO is ESS’s most advanced DAC chip to date, and the Alpha Pro takes full advantage. By summing eight differential signals per channel, the SIGMA DAC topology lowers output impedance and noise, giving you deeper dynamics and cleaner transients. With MQA hardware decoding, HyperStream architecture, and a 32-bit noise-shaping engine, your digital audio gets processed at maximum clarity. 4C-FBDA: Discrete power with grip The Alpha Pro uses four fully-balanced channels of discrete transistor amplification—8 transistors per channel, 32 total. The result is 6000mW per channel into 32Ω, \u0026lt;0.1Ω output impedance, and near-total absence of distortion (0.0001% THD).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTrue preamp functionality\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA lot of DAC\/amps slap on a volume knob and call it a day. The Alpha Pro uses the NJU72315, one of the highest-performance analog volume chips available. It retains detail at whisper levels, cuts noise, and offers a real analog volume taper—no stepping, no smearing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTurntables and cassette decks welcome\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConnect a phono preamp-enabled turntable or tape deck and route your analog signal to powered monitors or straight into headphones. No conversion, no digital artifacts, no latency. Designed for digital, ready for everythingA 16-core XMOS XU-316 chip handles USB duties, decoding PCM up to 768kHz\/32bit, DSD512, and full MQA. Bluetooth 5.1 (QCC5125) supports LDAC 24bit\/96kHz along with aptX HD, AAC, and SBC. There’s also coaxial and optical with a 2nd PLL that matches USB jitter specs (15ps typical), keeping the entire digital path in lockstep.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIsolation built into every layer\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe analog and digital sections live on different zones of a multi-layer PCB, with dedicated grounds, guarded traces, and star-quad routing. Even the power rails are isolated. This means no crosstalk, no digital bleed, and no interference sneaking in from the USB controller to the output stage. In a word: clean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIt’s got timing down to a science\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith three femtosecond-grade oscillators and a VCXO-driven second PLL clock, the Alpha Pro holds jitter below 15ps. That’s about ten times tighter than the average DAC and a huge boost for microdetail, spatial placement, and realism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePerformance that won’t break a sweat\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThermal zoning distributes heat to avoid performance drift.

The power stage features silent relay switching, zero-pop startup, and overload detection.
