DAC-Z6 is a compact audio decoder with excellent workmanship and high performance. With the integration of XMOS 316 and double ES9068 DAC chips, the decoding formats support up to DSD512, PCM 768 Khz@32 Bit and MQA full decoding. It has exceptional sound quality, good preamp performance and strong headphone driving force. Rich inputs make the device a good partner for high end headphones and stereo speakers.
Double High-performance ES9068 DAC
There are 2 ES9068 DAC chips to construct the Double Differential Quadruple Converter, with one ES9068 DAC chip per channel for independent D/A conversion output. The design avoids interference between channels effectively, reduces the noise floor to 6dB, obtains better audio indicators like signal-to-noise ratio and dynamic range etc. DSD512, PCM768@32 bit and MQA hardware decoding are supported.
Professional Calibration
Benefited from development engineers' rich experience in analog circuit design, professional calibration and circuit design are adopted for DAC-Z6. The total harmonic distortion ratio which has been measured is -120dB (0.00009%), signal-to-noise ratio and dynamic range are 25dB. These industry leading indicators are solid foundation for good sound quality.
XMOS 316
The 3rd generation XMOS 316 has faster processing speed and better USB bandwidth, which ensures lossless transmission for high-definition audio data. USB output supports DSD512 Native, PCM768@32 bit and MQA full decoding. Optical and Coaxial output support DSD 64 ((Top) and PCM 192@24 Bit.
DAC-Z6 includes MQA (Master Quality Authenticated) technology, which enables you to play back MQA audio files and streams, delivering the sound of the original master recording. Visit mqa.co.uk for more information.
High Precision Clock Oscillators
Two low jitter clock oscillators (45.1584 MHz and 49.152MHz) are integrated in DAC-Z6, which correspond to 44.1KHz and 48KHz multiplied sampling management. Audio decoding is more accurate.
Balanced Differential Amplification Circuit
DAC-Z6 analog audio circuit is fully balanced differential amplification circuit design, which is made up of several operational amplifiers. DAC connects to all analog outputs including XLR, RCA, headphone jack through the ircuit. Noise has been eliminated by resolving the crosstalk of the shared loop and improving channel separation. The high-fidelity preamp circuit supports refined volume adjustment, no additional preamp needed.
Qualcomm QCC5125 Bluetooth Module
DAC-Z6 Bluetooth audio receiver adopts Qualcomm QCC5125 module. It is Bluetooth 5.0 and supports SBC/AAC/aptX/aptX LL/aptX HD/LDAC Bluetooth audio protocol. Enjoy CD quality music conveniently by connecting mobile phone, tablet and computer.
Abundant igital Filters
Three sets of digital filters are provided in DAC setting, with different sound characteristics. Distinct failure modes will meet different listening demands.
Multiple Ports to Connect with Diverse Audio Source
DAC-Z6 has rich digital audio inputs, including Coaxial, Optical, asynchronous USB DAC, Type-C for computers and mobile devices. APTX HD Bluetooth audio input can be used to connect with computers, streamers, CD players and mobile devices etc.
