The introduction of Interchangeable All-in-One Modules, carry on the multi-DAC experience, but add a new and fun experience. This reflects the DNA of the innovation that the A\u0026amp;futura line is known for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SE180 is a module-separated type product that increases the convenience of connection between the main body of the player and the module. It features an innovative double locking design that securely connects each component while providing smooth lines that naturally flow without any sense of separateness between the two pieces.By applying different DAC\/AMP configurations, tuning and outputs for each module, the user can choose the most suitable module for Premium Hi-Fi Sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe default configuration module contains the ESS ES9038PRO, an 8-channel DAC mainly used for premium home audio equipment.
