The built-in DAC based on the audiophile Sabre ES9039Q2M chip from ESS Technology provides ultra-low noise (100 dB signal-to-noise ratio) and a wide sound stage (10 Hz – 100 kHz, ±0.19 dB). Versatility is ensured by support for HDMI ARC for playing audio from TVs, an output to an active subwoofer for 2.1-channel systems and a headphone jack for personal listening.
