which are sharpened to minimize noise, interference and other specific digital problems that interfere with pure audio reproduction.<\/p>\n<p>Both are powered by a quad-core ARM Cortex-A72 processor running at 1.5GHz coupled with a 32GB DRAM (Low Noise DDR4) ROM.\u00a0All circuitry, according to the developer, is thought out specifically for lossless processing of musical data.<\/p>\n<figure><img

\/><figcaption><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>For this purpose, an optimized computer sound processing circuit was created.\u00a0Its fanless cooling also corresponds to complete noise reduction: a special radiator is installed in the system, which lowered the operating temperature by 20\u00b0C.\u00a0A certain \u201chighly permeable absorber\u201d contributes to the reduction of electromagnetic interference, the details of which the brand does not disclose.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Unlike the Munich M1T media transport, the Munich M1 streamer is also equipped with a built-in DAOM with a headphone amplifier.\u00a0Thus, M1 is able to directly output a signal, including to active speakers.\u00a0Otherwise, both new items are twins, and well equipped.<\/p>\n<p>Possible interfaces include AES\/EBU, I2S, coaxial digital out, USB Audio out, and a Gigabit Ethernet port.\u00a0Both devices are promised to work well with NAS and applications for high-speed network streaming.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/44_techweek.jpg\" width=\"1413\"

the manufacturer, allow you to easily control playback.\u00a0Both models support audio resolutions up to PCM 768 kHz and DSD 11.2 MHz (DSD256) depending on the selected output.<\/p>\n<p>They accept AAC, M4A, MP3, OGG, FLAC, WAV, ALAC, DSD (DSF, DFF), WAV64, AIFF, CUE, WMA, APE files and are capable of transmitting signals to a DAC that supports MQA decoding.\u00a0The descriptions of both devices are accompanied by the Tidal, Qobuz, Roon Ready, Apple Airplay and Hi-Res Audio logos.\u00a0Management of all device functions is available from the smartphone screen through a proprietary
