Thanks to EverSolo development engineers' rich experience in analog circuit design, DAC-Z8 has a professional-grade calibration and circuit design. The total harmonic distortion ratio which has been measured is -124dB (0.000062%), while signal-to-noise ratio and dynamic range are 133dB. These industry-leading indicators are a solid foundation for great sound quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003ch2 class=\"subhead margin\"\u003eAbundant Digital Filters\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eChoose from a variety of digital filter modes in the DAC setting menu to meet different demands and preferences. DAC-Z8 features 7 PCM filters and 4 DSD filters from which to select.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003ch2 class=\"subhead margin\"\u003eHigh Precision Clock Oscillators\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eTwo low jitter clock oscillators (45.1584MHz and 49.152MHz) are integrated in DAC-Z8, which correspond to 44.1 KHz and 48KHz multiplied sampling management. The result is more accurate audio decoding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003ch2 class=\"subhead margin\"\u003eXMOS 316 Processor for Format Support\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe 3rd generation XMOS 316 has faster speed and better USB bandwidth than previous processors, which ensures lossless transmission for high-definition audio data. The USB output supports DSD512 Native, PCM768@32bit, and MQA full decoding. Optical and Coaxial outputs support DSD64 (DoP) and PCM192@24Bit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003ch2 class=\"subhead margin\"\u003eMQA Full Decoding\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eDAC-Z8 includes MQA (Master Quality Authenticated) technology through USB, Optical, and Coaxial, which enables you to play back MQA audio files and streams, delivering the sound of the original master recording.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003ch2 class=\"subhead margin\"\u003eOp-Amps\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eDAC-Z8's I\/V (current to voltage) circuit is made up of eight OPA1612 Op-Amps. Multichannel signal shunt compensation technology has also been incorporated. The result is that XLR, RCA, and headphone output signals remain lossless, with improved channel separation, dynamic range, and sound integrity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003ch2 class=\"subhead margin\"\u003eDifferential Amplifier Circuit and Balanced Preamp\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe analog audio circuit is a fully balanced design. The XLR, RCA, and headphone outputs are all processed by a balanced differential amplifier circuit. Unwanted noise has been eliminated by resolving the crosstalk of the shared loop, also improving channel separation. The high-fidelity preamp circuit supports refined and precise volume adjustment, without the need to connect with an additional preamp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003ch2 class=\"subhead margin\"\u003eLow Ripple Power Module\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eA low-noise regulated power supply module and dedicated ultra low-noise audio filter capacitor are tailored for DAC-Z8. It powers the audio circuit and ensures clearer sound, with low ripple and less interference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003ch2 class=\"subhead margin\"\u003eWide Variety of Inputs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eDAC-Z8 has a rich selection of ports for digital audio input, including Coaxial, Optical, asynchronous USB-B, and USB-C. The Bluetooth audio input option can also be used to wirelessly connect with sources.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003ch2 class=\"subhead margin\"\u003eQualcomm QCC5125 Bluetooth Module\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eIn addition to wired inputs, DAC-Z8 also features a built-in Bluetooth audio receiver in the form of the Qualcomm QCC5125 module. Thanks to support for the full suite of SBC, AAC, aptX, aptX LL, aptX HD, and LDAC codecs, you'll know you're getting the best possible Bluetooth quality when you pair your mobile phone, tablet, or computer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003ch2 class=\"subhead margin\"\u003eSeparate RCA and XLR Output\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eIn order to reduce the possible signal interference of the RCA and XLR outputs operating simultaneously, DAC-Z8 can control its output separately to achieve higher audio performance. If desired, through the menu system, the RCA and XLR outputs can also be manually enabled for simultaneous output.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003ch2 class=\"subhead margin\"\u003eHeadphone Amplifier\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe professional headphone amp circuit in DAC-Z8 has excellent sound; the focus was prioritizing quality of output over sheer power.
