Know before you buy
The Optical Network port provides complete electrical isolation from your home network. By eliminating network-borne noise, it ensures a cleaner, more stable signal path for your digital audio.
Yes, the X1 is designed for a wired Ethernet connection to ensure the highest possible data integrity. It does not feature built-in Wi-Fi, as a hardwired connection is preferred for audiophile-grade streaming performance.
By using separate circuitry and dual ES9038Pro DACs for each channel, the X1 maximizes channel separation and minimizes crosstalk. This results in a more precise, expansive soundstage and improved dynamic range.
The X1 is primarily a network streamer. While it features high-performance DACs, it is designed to receive audio via your network rather than acting as a traditional DAC for external components like CD transports.
The X1 supports native playback of DSD512 and PCM768. This ensures you can stream or play back your high-resolution music files at their full, original quality without downsampling.
The Femto Clock System uses precision FPGA distribution to minimize jitter, which is the timing error that can degrade digital audio. This ensures that the digital-to-analog conversion process remains incredibly accurate and musical.
