    Fine-quality components that produce a warmer, natural sound with exceptional clarity and fidelity.

  • Audio Line Shielding

    Blocks electromagnetic interference from the motherboard or add-ons to provide cleaner audio.

  • ALC4082 Codec

    Instead of a conventional high definition audio (HDA) interface, the ALC4082 codec uses a USB interface to deliver studio-level sound reaching up to 32-bit 384 kHz audio resolution.

  • ESS® ES9219 QUAD DA

    The ESS® ES9219 QUAD DAC integrated QUAD DAC amplifier is capable of providing -114 dB total harmonic distortion (THD+N) for standard audio devices, and it can ramp up to 2Vrms on supported audiophile hardware. In addition, the 121 dB dynamic range (DNR) provides an extremely low noise-floor, further accentuating dynamics and punch.

  • Switching MOSFETS

    Unique design allows the codec's impedance-sensing function to be ported with either the front or rear headphone outputs.

Dolby Atmos

Dolby Atmos expands on traditional surround sound systems by adding height channels, allowing sounds to be interpreted as three-dimensional objects. This creates an immersive audio experience, giving the sensation of sound coming from above, below, and around the listener.
