Addressing smartphone-induced sound degradation
Based on NiPO's design philosophy, we have researched and adopted ideal elements from every angle for smartphone combinations, such as USB isolation, signal digitizing waveform shaping chips, and ultra-low phase noise clocks, to address harmful radio waves from communication antennas and variations in the quality of various USB digital audio outputs.
Furthermore, the architecture, which reduces power consumption by incorporating a low internal resistance, high-capacity battery and a unique current circuit design within the main unit, provides users with the same quality as high-grade DAPs.
CMMT Current Mirror I/V Conversion
It partially adopts the unique architecture used in the flagship N2 model. To prevent signal transmission loss, I/V conversion, LPF, and voltage amplification are integrated and processed to achieve the shortest single-stage gain path. More than 200 pairs of transistors are precisely matched to achieve high-precision signal conversion at the 0.001% level. By also achieving a phase distortion rate of 0.00015% or less, even the most subtle sounds are faithfully reproduced.
Achieving low distortion and high linearity. Equipped with SGM8262 headphone amplifier from SGMicro.
An ultra-low output impedance of just 0.22Ω ensures pure signal transmission. It maintains high linearity, low noise, and high output swing even with low-impedance earphones, delivering exquisite sound across a wide range of products from CIEMs to multi-driver earphones. Furthermore, with a maximum output of 525mW, its "Super-Linear" design provides clear sound not only for portable products but also for headphone use.
USB Digital Isolation for Delivering Pristine Audio
Based on ADI's iCoupler® digital isolation technology, it effectively isolates strong electromagnetic interference originating from the connected circuit board. Following USB audio data signal integrity design, it achieves playback free from transmission errors and packet loss. High-speed data calibration, waveform shaping, and jitter suppression are performed internally through Accusilicon AS318 series ultra-high precision femtosecond crystal oscillators, allowing you to experience unprecedentedly accurate and faithful playback with significantly reduced reliance on the performance of the output source. *UAC2.0
Uses ESS ES9039Q2M
Equipped with ESS's ES9039Q2M DAC, which boasts energy efficiency, transparency, and excellent fine detail reproduction. Featuring 8 DAC filters and HyperStream IV architecture, it achieves low distortion, a wide dynamic range, and high noise immunity. It delivers clear and high-resolution sound.
Reduces digital harshness and achieves high resolution
By designing a circuit that independently supplies clean and stable power to nine systems, including digital and analog components such as internal clocks and amplifiers, individual optimization according to the load is achieved. This avoids interference over a wide band, improving soundstage clarity and localization accuracy, and realizing a natural tone.
Robust power supply design for high-quality sound
Power ripple noise is suppressed by -60dB through a combination of multi-stage LC filters, LDO, and ultra-low noise switching power supplies. By using a high-density lithium polymer battery with a low internal resistance of 20mΩ and selecting electronic circuit components such as ultra-low ESR military-grade tantalum capacitors, instantaneous high-frequency expressiveness is also enhanced. Carefully selected circuit components to achieve ideal characteristics result in an even darker background for music playback, delivering even the most subtle sounds with clarity.
Low internal resistance 3900mAh battery for comfort and high-quality sound
It adopts a switchable circuit that completely cuts off all current except for the audio signal transmission from the source device. Internal drive is managed solely by the unit's clean current. Despite its compact 131g body, it offers high transparency and an excellent dynamic range. With 13 hours of continuous playback, it naturally renders sharp string performances and the delicate timbres of large ensembles.
Strong and secure magnetic attachment for MagSafe-compatible devices
The N52 NdFeB strong magnet provides over 2kgf of magnetic attraction, preventing it from falling off. As high-quality audio equipment, the magnet is completely separated from the circuit by a dedicated shield, effectively eliminating and avoiding interference.
With the included adhesive O-type and C-type magnet plates, you can comfortably attach it to cases or devices that do not support magnetic attachment.
The pleasure of choosing your own unique piece. Full-grain leather in three colors that will win your heart.
The main body is made of full-grain leather, which features natural grain, often used in high-end brands. It has also passed operation stability tests due to heat, offering not only excellent durability and a luxurious feel, but also the natural texture of the leather and laser-engraved patterns chosen through a popularity poll, allowing you to enjoy its deepening charm the more you use it.
Only necessary accessories with reduced environmental impact are included.
The included short charging/data cable uses 28AWG x 26AWG twisted copper conductors with a double shield structure of aluminum foil and braided mesh, prioritizing signal stability and primarily preventing errors and external noise. The device can also be charged using the charging cable originally bundled with the smartphone it is intended to be used with.
