The Original Audio OPA-Q2.1SE is a headphone amplifier and DAC. It delivers great performance thanks to its careful design. Its various functions and its numerous inputs and outputs make it a very good all-rounder.
The digital / analog conversion stage of the OPA-Q2.1SE embeds a very efficient ES9038Q2M DAC chip, offering excellent performance for precise and detailed sound reproduction. This DAC is notably associated with an XMOS USB interface, allowing you to enjoy high-resolution audio streams up to PCM 32bit 768kHz and DSD64.
Behind its antenna, the OPA-Q2.1SE hides a QCC5125 Bluetooth receiver. This will allow you to broadcast your music remotely, directly from a connected smartphone for example. In addition, this chip supports high definition transmission codecs such as AAC, SBC, aptX, aptX HD and LDAC, allowing to reach excellent wireless sound quality.
All the circuits of the OPA-Q2.1SE demonstrate great rigor, both in the architecture itself and in the selection of components or assembly. Thus, there are fully symmetrical headphone amplification circuits ensuring a very low level of distortion. The headphone amplification section is also based on the use of discrete components.
Two high-end 1612A double AOPs also provide a filtering function to provide beautiful sound transparency. A specially designed analog audio processing module also reinforces this sound neutrality while providing a certain musicality.
The OPA-Q2.1SE demonstrates great versatility thanks to these different inputs and outputs. Indeed we find on the box a USB type C input, an optical input and a coaxial input in addition to bluetooth.
Moreover, at the output level there are a 6.35mm Jack output, a 4.4mm balanced jack output, and also a balanced XLR 4 pins headphone output. On the other side there is a balanced XLR stereo output and an RCA stereo output allowing you to connect the OPA-Q2.1SE to an amplifier or active speakers.
All components are housed in a sturdy CNC machined aluminum housing. In addition, this frame has a sober but modern aesthetic that will fit into many HiFi systems.
