TANCHJIM SPACE PRO Portable DAC Headphone Amplifier

The Tanchjim Space Pro is a DAC with a built-in headphone amplifier based on a dual Cirrus Logic CS43198 DAC architecture, designed to handle the conversion and playback of high-resolution audio streams. It supports PCM signals up to 32bit 768kHz as well as DSD256, whilst utilising a dual-mono topology that isolates the channels to improve separation and stabilise reproduction across the entire spectrum.

It combines amplification delivering up to 618mW into a 26Ω load with software-controlled operating modes and signal processing, allowing the behaviour of the conversion/amplification system to be adapted to suit the listening conditions.

Tanchjim Space Pro: Double OPA SGM8262

This conversion stage is followed by an amplification stage based on two SGM8262 operational amplifiers, delivering up to 618mW into 26Ω and 505mW into 32Ω, which provides a power supply capable of driving headphones with varying impedances whilst maintaining stable signal control.

Tanchjim Space Pro: Tanchjim app

Beyond sheer power, the amplifier’s performance can be customised via the Tanchjim app, which allows you to switch between Class AB and Class H modes to adapt the circuit’s response to the listening environment. This approach is extended by the inclusion of 5.1/7.1 surround sound simulation, broadening the spatialisation for multimedia use, whilst the 10-band equaliser, combined with the ability to import and export presets, allows for adjustment of the sound signature.
