What a day to be an obsessive audiophile. I have already gone to bed wanting to want you to have a portable amplifier ready for analog for some of the best wired headphones, your most sweaty sound dreams have come true. Indeed, Ibasso Audio has revealed a portable USB-C DAC (digital analog converter) with double amplifier modes, including an option of tube amplifier and a recovery OLED screen, to really stand out among the best laptops.
The Chinese audio specialist recently published the Ibasso Nunchaku laptop (via Notebookcheck). Now accumulate for the part of the audiophile appearance. The Little USB DAC Compact has two selectable amplifiers that you can switch and a pair of CIRRUS logical chips CS43198.
From the first glimpse of this small digital amplifier, it has shouted quality. Not only is his premium -like body made of aluminum, but it also shakes the aforementioned OLED screen, with the 0.96 inch screen designed to protect one of the tempered glass sides of the USB Nunchaku.
Initially available in red or silver, this attractive portable amplifier has a set of full features. It supports both the high resolution PCM and DSD51 music flow, and if you really want to deepen sound bad herbs, the promised signal / noise ratio is 130 dB. Adjustable filters also allow you to modify the audio device sound profiles that you associate with Ibasso Nunchaku.
Going to its analog amplifier, the signal / noise ratio measures in about 107 dB, which should create a pleasant audio with the kind authorization of the Nunchaku tubes (wait …) Dual Raytheon Jan6118, which are tested and paired specifically for each unit . Ibasso clearly indicates that there is a probability of a “microphonic” effect from a tapping or a movement on the transfer of cases through the tube amplifiers (there is a reason that they are not commonly used on portable devices!), But these will be reduced as much as possible by its tubes mounted on Poron polyurethane shock.
You have balanced output connections of 4.4 mm or 3.5 mm to make the most of everything here, so it should be an excellent bridge between laptops or phones and elite headphones.
Since it has an OLED screen and was clearly built with premium materials, it is not surprising that this amplifier adapted to palm trees is currently at a price of $ 299 (around £ 240 / $ 475 in), which seems positively reasonable given the complexity and audio chops.
