Tube Headphone Amplifier 2x 12AU7 DAC 2x ES9038Q2M Bluetooth 5.0 aptX HD LDAC 32bit 384kHz DSD256 MQA
xDuoo unveils with its TA-22 a beautiful headphone amplifier and DAC combo with a neat design. This one embeds quality components in order to provide a sound restitution both musical and detailed. It also offers a complete connectivity to meet the vast majority of needs, as well as a convenient Bluetooth connectivity.
Using a pair of 12AU7 tubes and a Class A transistor buffer, the TA-22 is capable of developing a power of 3000mW in balanced output and 1500mW in single-ended output, offering a soft and warm sound reproduction, characteristic of this type of amplification. It is thus able to drive both high sensitivity headphones and high impedance headphones while ensuring a beautiful musicality.
The TA-22's converter stage features a balanced architecture with two ES9038Q2M chips, ensuring high precision and clarity, perfectly complementing the tube amplifier system. These chips also allow the TA-22 to support high-resolution audio streams, up to 32bit 384kHz PCM and DSD256, as well as to render MQA files. The conversion circuitry is also equipped with a pair of low phase noise oscillators to provide a clean clock signal to minimize jitter.
In addition to a complete connectivity, the TA-22 offers a Bluetooth 5.0 reception thanks to its Qualcomm 5125 chip, so it is possible to broadcast and control your music remotely, from a smartphone or a tablet for example. This receiver supports aptX HD and LDAC codecs for high quality wireless playback.
The TA-22 also provides a stereo RCA pre-out. It is thus possible to connect an amplifier or active speakers in order to take advantage of the sound signature of the TA-22 tubes.
