With its Serenade, HiFiMAN unveils a versatile R2R DAC that also acts as a preamplifier, headphone amplifier and network player, thanks to an RJ45 LAN port. The device was developed by HiFiMAN in collaboration with GoldenWave. It features R2R Hymalaya Pro conversion technology, as well as an XMOS XU316 USB interface and Class A headphone amplification circuitry. The HiFiMAN Serenade's wide range of connectors and functions make it a DAC that will fit into almost any Hi-Fi installation.
With support from a new FGPA algorithm, Hymalaya R2R DAC technology achieves a THD of 0.0012% (-6db). Coupled with the XMOS XU316 USB interface, the Serenade DAC is able to support high-resolution PCM 32bit 384kHz and DSD256 streams via its USB input, 24bit 192kHz and DSD DoP64 streams via its coaxial SPDIF and Toslink optical inputs, as well as 32bit 768kHz and DSD512 streams via network.
The HiFiMAN Serenade's headphone amplifier circuit is based on a Class A circuit architecture for a powerful, round and warm sound. It features 3 headphone outputs on the front panel, a balanced XLR 4-pin headphone output, a balanced 4.4mm jack headphone output and a 6.35mm jack headphone output.
The Serenade's RJ45 port enables it to connect to a network, so you can enjoy a NAS gateway on your local network, or stream music directly to your favorite streaming applications via your phone or tablet.
For its power supply, the HiFiMAN Serenade benefits from a 50W toroidal transformer and a high-speed, low-noise voltage regulator circuit that enables it to operate with a clean current.

"Non content d’être un appareil très complet, faisant à la fois office de DAC, ampli casque, streamer et préampli stéréo, l'Hifiman Serenade brille également par sa qualité de fabrication et surtout d’un point de vue sonore. Maîtrisé de bout en bout, il parvient à combiner d’excellentes qualités techniques à une grande puissance de sortie. Une belle démonstration de la marque."
