The Muse HiFi M3 Ultra is a portable DAC with a hybrid architecture designed to handle both digital conversion and analogue amplification in a compact form factor. It supports up to PCM 32bit 384kHz and DSD256, relying on an ES9028Q2M chip paired with a fully balanced circuit to ensure accurate reproduction while minimising interference and distortion.
Suited for both portable and desktop use, it combines high-resolution conversion with JAN6418 tube amplification, enabling effective drive of a wide range of headphones while maintaining stable operation.
The DAC is built around an ES9028Q2M chip, whose conversion architecture ensures precise digital signal processing while maintaining low distortion and noise floor. This technical foundation is extended by a fully balanced output circuit, effectively isolating parasitic interference and preserving channel integrity throughout the signal chain. Building on this, it supports high-resolution streams up to PCM 32bit 384kHz as well as DSD256.


The integration of the JAN6418 tubes is complemented by a dedicated mechanical suspension system, relying on specific damping components and a decoupled architecture to limit vibrations transmitted to the circuit. This stabilisation reduces microphonic effects while maintaining consistent electrical conduction, resulting in more stable reproduction during portable use.
