\"Image\"The analog input stage of the EF1000DAC is based on HIFIMAN’s proprietary 26V high voltage op-amp, 12V output, 0.0003% THD, and 100 ohm output impedance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Thanks to the Hymalaya PRO solution and an ultra-precise discrete op amp module, the total harmonic distortion (THD) of the EF1000DAC models is as low as 0.0012%.\u00a0In addition, the circuit uses a stepped volume control and a 150 W power transformer with oxygen-free copper windings.<\/p>\n

\"Image\"The HIFIMAN EF1000DAC switching arsenal includes three digital inputs – USB-B, optical and coaxial, as well as a stereo analog input on RCA connectors. In addition, there is a Bluetooth adapter with support for LDAC and apt-X HD codecs. Front panel outputs include 4-pin XLR and a 6.5mm headphone jack, while unbalanced RCA and balanced XLR are located on the rear panel.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
