The new xDuoo XD05 BAL 2 portable DAC headphone amplifier is a device capable of delivering excellent performance for a highly enjoyable listening experience. It relies on no less than two ES9038Q2M DAC chips and an XMOS XU316 USB interface for its conversion stage, while its preamplification stage features two OPA1612s. These audiophile components enable it to support sampling rates up to PCM 32Bit 768kHz and native DSD up to DSD512, as well as offering output power up to 1500mW under 32 ohm.
There's also Bluetooth 5.0 functionality, numerous inputs, two headphone outputs (balanced 4.4mm jack and single-ended 6.35mm jack) and a 3.5mm AUX line output. A 5000mAh lithium-ion battery supplies power for up to 12 hours of nomadic listening. XDuoo offers a portable device that can be adapted to a wide range of uses.
The combo of ESS9038Q2M DAC chips coupled with an XMOS XU-316 USB interface enables the xDuoo XD05 BAL 2 to support high-resolution streams up to PCM 32bit 768kHz and DSD512. The ESS DAC chips also offer an SNR of 120dB.
Two low-noise crystal oscillators combined with a new CPLD provide a THD+N of just 0.00065% and very low jitter for improved performance.
The xDuoo XD05 BAL 2 uses only audiophile components and a balanced architecture.
The xDuoo XD05 BAL 2's output power of 1500mW under 32 ohm load enables it to drive a large number of headphones available on the market. In fact, it can drive headphones with impedances from 32 to 300 ohm without difficulty.
DIP8 mounting of the OPA1612 OPAs means they can be easily replaced to change the texture of the sound to suit the user's taste.
Bluetooth 5.1 functionality ensures reliable, stable wireless connectivity, with support for standard SBC and AAC codecs, as well as high-definition codecs aptX, aptX LL, aptX HD and LDAC, making it easy to access streaming platforms via a smartphone.
The xDuoo XD05 BAL 2's 5000mAh battery, which supports rapid charging (3h), provides autonomy from 9h to 24h depending on use, making it the perfect ally for audiophiles on the move.
If the bass on your headphones isn't powerful enough, you can transform it with two gain settings that boost low frequencies by 3 to 6dB.
