ES9038PRO as the flagship decoder chip, ES09038PRO sets a new standard for a truly immersive audio experience. Make A20d a must-have for your audio system. ES9038PRO is a 32 bit 8-channel flagship chip with HyperSTREAMII architecture, with industry-leading low distortion and low noise characteristics. With the ESS high-performance DAC dedicated power chip ES9311, it is more suitable for playing high-resolution audio source files that are becoming more and more common in digital music.
A20d is a complete MQA decoder, which will fully expand MQA music files to provide high-quality sound sources. At this playback level, you will fully hear the content created by the artist in the studio. Through TIDAL, FOOBAR2000 and other software, you can play MQA music files. Only after the CD file size is decoded, you can get high-standard and high-quality music at 352.8kHz(the actual bit rate after expansion depends on the quality of your music source file)
Full interface supports DSD transmission. The case is frosted, with moderate luster and metallic texture. All input ports support DSD transmission, coaxial/ optical fiber support DoP64 I2S interface definition multiple options(for details, please read the manual on the official website), which can be adapted to more digital interface models.
DPLL is used to eliminate clock jitter. The value of DPLL sets the bandwidth of clock lock, the wider the easier it is to lock, and the narrower the better the clock jitter elimination. Some sound sources(such as TVs, set-top boxes, etc) have too much clock jitter, which will cause the chip's PLL to fail to lock and break the sound. At this time, the value of DPLL should be increased until the sound continues.
The second-generation XMOS sixteen-core processor XU216, when USB is input, the PCM sampling rate is supported to 32bit/768kHz, the DSD is supported to the native DSD512, and the driver is exclusively customized to support NATIVE DSD. WINDOWs7 and above, MAC OS X10.6 and above and linux are all supported. Playing ASIO is more convenient. Coaxial and optical input, support to PSM 24bit/192kHz high bit rate files.
