Due to the shortage of production components Asahi Kasei Microdevices in table DAC \/ headphone amplifier Teac UD-505-X\u00a0set\u00a0chip ES9038 Q2M.\u00a0Its predecessor, indexed UD-505, used AK4497.\u00a0Otherwise, the novelty almost completely repeated the capabilities of the UD-505,\u00a0which appeared\u00a03 years ago.<\/p>\n

The compact body occupies the area of \u200b\u200ban A4 sheet on the table.\u00a0It contains circuitry in a “dual mono” configuration, there are also two ESS Technology ES9038 Q2M microcircuits – one each in the left and right channels.\u00a0In particular, it helped to obtain a high signal-to-noise ratio.<\/p>\n

ESS chips allowed the UD-505-X to work out the same DSD 22.5 MHz and PCM 32 bit \/ 768 kHz (at maximum resolutions via USB).\u00a0In addition, the device is ready to receive audio signals via Bluetooth, and with support for Hi-Res resolutions.\u00a0For this, in addition to the usual AAC and SBC, we used the LDAC and APTX HD codecs.<\/p>\n

Four TEAC-HCLD buffer amplifiers work at the analog signal output in the new product, and in improved versions.\u00a0To Teac UD-505-X, you can connect two pairs of unbalanced headphones at once using standard 6.3 mm jacks.\u00a0In addition, there is a balanced 4.4 mm jack.\u00a0Now these options are supplemented with another way of balanced connection – immediately to two 6.3 mm connectors.\u00a0To do this, you need a special adapter or custom cable.<\/p>\n

The cost of the Teac UD-505-X desktop USB-DAC<\/a> in Japan was 138,000 yen – about $1200.<\/p>\n
