What a day to be an obsessive audiophile. You have ever gone to bed drifting wishing to have a portable amplifier ready for analogues for some of the best cable headphones, your most sweaty sound dreams have come true. This is because Ibasso Audio has revealed a portable USB-C DAC (digital to analog) with double amplifier modes, which includes a tube amplifier option and an OLED screen in search of really standing among the best portable DAC.
The Chinese audio specialist recently launched the Ibasso Nunchaku Portable DAC (through Notebookcck). Now prepare for the audiophile bait part. The little compact DAC has two selectable amplifiers, among which it can change and a couple of DAC CS43198 DAC of CIRRUS LOGIC CS43198.
From early glimpses in this small digital amplifier, it shouts quality. Its premium -looking body is not only made of aluminum, but also rockea the aforementioned OLED screen, with the 0.96 -inch screen designed to protect one of the Nunchaku USB tempered glass duos.
Initially available in red or silver, this attractive portable amplifier has a set of integral characteristics. It supports the high -resolution PCM and DSD51 music transmission, and if you really want to deepen sound weeds, the promised signal / noise ratio is 130db. Adjustable filters also allow you to adjust the sound profiles of any audio device that combines with the Ibasso Nunchaku.
Changing to its analog amplifier, the signal / noise ratio measures in about 107DB, which should create a pleasant audio courtesy of the Raytheon Jan6118 tubes of Raytheon Dual de Nunchaku, which are tested and paired specifically for each unit. Ibasso makes it clear that there is a probability of a ‘microfonic’ effect when touching or movement in the transfer of the box through tube amplifiers (there is a reason why they are not commonly used in portable devices!), But these will be reduced as much as possible. for its Poin Polyurethane shock tubes.
It has a balanced 4.4 mm output or 3.5 mm headphones connections to make the most of everything here, so it should be a large bridge between laptops or elite phones and headphones.
Taking into account that it has an OLED screen and it has been clearly built with premium materials, it is not surprising that this amigable palm amplifier currently has a price currently $ 299 (around £ 240 / au $ 475), which seems positively reasonable given the complexity and audio huts.
