At its core sits an AKM AK4499EX DAC chip paired with an AK4191EQ digital processor, supporting PCM playback up to 32-bit\/384kHz and native DSD up to DSD256. Output options include a 3.5mm single-ended jack and a 4.4mm balanced output, while a 1.62-inch OLED display and a 150-step precision rotary wheel provide straightforward on-device control.
