Acheté en remplacement du M8 première version (ES9018) qui m'a lâché après 5 ans de loyaux services, ce petit dac avec son alim externe SMSL P1 redonne un vrai peps et de l'aération à mon installation hifi fixe. Vraiment ravi de cet achat.

32bit 768kHz DAC ES9038Q2M DSD512 - XCore200 Xu208 (2nd generation) -
Implantation of ES9038EQM DACchip significantly develops the capabilities of M8A since the previous version. The unit now accesses Hyperstream II technology, which is usually dedicated to professional equipment.
This chip allows a DAC - if designed properly - to provide its user with a conversion of a remarkable smoothness while extending its capabilities to extreme sampling rates such as DSD512 and PCM 768kHz.
The USB interface XMOS Xcore U200 2nd gen, greatly contributes to the excellent specifications of the device. Especially with the support of the native DSD now complementing DOP transfer.
Every component involved in the process of analog conversion naturally benefits from a circuit specifically designed to enhance audio performance. Thus, it features a ultra-low jitter clock with a low phase noise cristal. There are also low voltage drop (LDO) regulator chosen for their extremely low noise level.
The output stage uses an operational amplifier OPA1612 that ensures a clean and intelligible signal for the other elements of the chain, whether it be a pre-amplifier and furthermore or a simple active speaker.
With its OLED screen and two only buttons, the interface of M8A is a model of simplicity. A button lets you navigate between the different options while the other allows the user to validate the choice.
The M8A offers plethora of options directly related to decoding techniques in order to refine your listening experience depending on the specificities of your sound system. Thus we find 10 DSP-type presets usually found among the most effective audio profiles. These add to traditional filters offered by high quality conversion chip such as the 9038EQM.
Its USB inputs (high resolution XMOS), coaxial and optical allow it to gather all common digital audio sources (TV, computer, smartphone OTG, network player etc ...) on a single audio system.
The M8A comes with a range of accessories that will make most of its features immediately available. The package features a USB A / USB-B cable (computer) and a Micro-USB / USB-C cable (Smartphone, tablets and OTG devices).
The dedicated power supply (Switching) is already provided, in addition to a USB-A adapter / Jack 5.5 / 2.5mm. These accessories are useful for standalone use or when the specifications of the audio source (especially laptops) are not enough to properly feed the DAC through USB-B alone.
The M8A V2 form-factor remains extremely optimized, measuring only 90 x 122 mm to 22 mm high and 390 grams. With these very advantageous dimensions, intuitive interface and basic connectivity, the M8A V2 will easily find its place in any audio setup.
