It features a robust construction with a metal housing that not only looks solid and high-quality but also captivates with its attractive two-tone design. The device is equipped with cutting-edge technology, including an XMOS 16-core chip, a Burr-Brown DAC, and an accurate clock, which together reduce jitter and enable exceptional sound clarity.
