iBasso Macaron Portable DAC 2x CS43131 32bit 384kHz DSD256 Black
The iBasso Macaron is a portable DAC designed to provide direct digital-to-analogue conversion between a mobile source and headphones. It features a dual CS43131 DAC architecture, capable of decoding up to 32bit 384kHz PCM and DSD256, combined with a KDS femtosecond oscillator to stabilise the digital signal and improve its temporal accuracy.
iBasso Macaron: Dual CS43131 DAC
The iBasso Macaron utilises a dual CS43131 DAC architecture, enabling decoding up to 32bit 384kHz PCM and DSD256 to preserve the integrity of high-resolution audio streams whilst ensuring stable conversion across the entire audible spectrum. This foundation is further enhanced by the integration of a KDS femtosecond crystal oscillator, which reduces jitter and timing errors in the digital signal, resulting in a more coherent reproduction and improved clarity of subtle details.
iBasso Macaron: Limited consumption
In addition to its conversion performance, the device features efficient power management with power consumption limited to 80mA, thereby minimising the impact on the smartphone’s battery life whilst preventing power protection mechanisms from being triggered on certain devices, particularly within the Apple ecosystem.
iBasso Macaron: Ease of use
This focus on functional simplicity is complemented by dual headphone outputs – 3.5mm and 4.4mm jacks – allowing the Macaron to be used with both balanced and single-ended configurations. The operating status is indicated by a coloured LED: red when on standby, blue for DSD, and green for PCM, allowing immediate identification of the current audio stream, whilst the iBasso UAC app on Android enables adjustment of gain, digital filters and stereo balance, thus allowing the sound reproduction to be adapted to listening conditions.
iBasso Macaron: Aluminium housing and tempered glass
The unit is housed in a CNC-machined aluminium frame, which ensures efficient heat dissipation. This design is further enhanced by the incorporation of tempered glass panels on each side, creating a contrast in textures between the metallic surfaces and the smooth finishes.
