Capable of 128x oversampling and ultra-precise FIR cascaded filtering, this 16-channel current-mode DAC features discrete I/V conversion and analog low-pass filtering—delivering a richly layered, dynamic, and ultra-detailed soundstage.
Class A/AB Amplification with Turbo Mode
The R8 II features a switchable Class A/AB dual amplification system, enhanced with:
2 × ADA4625-2 + 3 × OPA1612 control op-amps.
16 discrete custom transistors.
4 × Elna “Silmic II” capacitors for analog warmth.
28 high-density tantalum capacitors.
Turbo Mode boosts output power by 25%, enhancing dynamics and headroom at the tap of a button—ideal for demanding headphones.
