ES9038Pro DAC
The heart of the DAC-Z8, its digital-to-analog conversion stage, is equipped with an excellentESS ES9038Pro chip. This ensureslow distortion and noisefor a truly convincinghigh-fidelity music experience. In addition, the DAC-Z8s audio circuitry is specifically calibrated to deliver its full potential.
XMOS XU316 USB Interface
The USB input of the DAC-Z8 is combined with anXMOS XU316 interface, which canprocess audio data quickly and efficientlyfor optimal signal transmission. This chip also supports high-resolution streams up toPCM 32bit 768kHzandDSD512 Native, as well asMQA files.
MQA
The EverSolo DAC-Z8 supports thedecoding of MQA(Master Quality Authenticated) files from its USB, Toslink optical and coaxial inputs. This format allows you to enjoy a sound quality as close as possible to the original studio recording.
High precision clocks
The DAC-Z8 is equipped withtwo very high precision clockson the frequencies 45.1584MHz and 49.152MHz. These allow you to enjoy high-quality decoding, ensuring avery low jitterfor a detailed and precise sound.
Optimized I/V circuit
TheI/V circuitof the DAC-Z8 consists of8 OPA1612 OPAs. It uses multi-channel signal shunting compensation technology, with the 8 OPAs corresponding to the 8 output channels of the I/V conversion stage, ultimately providing a two-channel parallel output. In addition to the high-precision resistors, this circuitry assists in the lossless amplification of the XLR, RCA, and headphone outputs,improving channel separation, dynamic range, and sonic integrity.
Amplifier circuit and balanced preamp output
The DAC-Z8s analog audio circuitry isfully balanced. The XLR, RCA and headphone outputs are all processed by abalanced differential amplifier circuitforlow noiseandimproved channel separation. The high-fidelity preamplifier circuitry provides precise and efficient volume control.
Bluetooth 5.0
In addition to acomplete connectivity, the DAC-Z8 has aBluetooth 5.0 Qualcomm QCC5125 receiver, which allows you tobroadcast your music remotely, from a smartphone or a tablet for example, while supporting the codecs of high-resolution transmissionaptX HDandLDACfor a high-quality restitution in wireless.
Digital DSP filters
The EverSolo DAC-Z8 offers no less than7 PCM filters and 4 DSD filters. These allow you to adapt the sound reproduction of the device according to your listening preferences and your audio system.
Headphone Amplifier
The DAC-Z8sheadphone amplifieralso performs very well and is capable of providingcomfortable powerto accompany headphones with impedance from 16 to 300 without difficulty. This one also has atwo-step gain controlto accommodate both demanding headphones and more sensitive earphones.
Control app
The DAC-Z8 can be controlled via the freeEverSolo Control Appavailable onAndroid and iOS. The latter allows access to the vast majority of the parameters available on the device.
