SHANLING ONIX ZENITH XDA20 DAC Headphone Amplifier

Shanling ONIX Zenith XDA20: Cutting-edge technology

The heart of the XDA20 is based on a dual ESS ES9039Pro chip, capable of processing PCM streams up to 32-bit/768kHz and DSD512 files with exemplary precision. This dual DAC chip is supported by a proprietary ‘Brighton’ I/V architecture developed in-house by Shanling, using 8 OPA1611s to ensure rich, detailed sound reproduction with an expansive soundstage and impressive dynamics.

Amplification is handled by a TPA6120 chip, renowned for its ability to deliver smooth, controlled sound, even on demanding headphones. The XDA20 can deliver up to 1620mW at 32Ω, with a comfortable power reserve.

The unit is powered by a silent, high-quality power supply section based on two Talema transformers (25W and 15W), supported by four 3300uF / 63V capacitors, for stable, noise-free regulation.
