Different from the traditional integrated amplification circuit, the XP-2 BAL embeds the new OP+BUF structure allowing a balanced output power pushed to 320mW. Its two onboard chips, the Qualcomm CSR8675 and the XMOS XU208, guarantee the retransmission of clean and deep sounds, whether by Bluetooth or USB type C port.
The XP-2 BAL supports the latest Bluetooth 5.0 version bringing many improvements in wireless transmission. Thus, the range allowed by this evolution is doubled, and the transmission rate can now reach 2Mbps. As for consumption, nothing to fear since this new version has no impact on this parameter.
This speed allows you to enjoy high quality audio playback and extremely stable transmission. In addition, this version also allows the device to detect radio frequency interference in the 2.4GHz band in order to modify the communication channel accordingly to preserve transmission performance.
It should also be noted that it supports, thanks to the Qualcomm CSR 8675 bluetooth chip, the Bluetooth protocols SBC, AAC, APTX, APTX LL, APTX HD, LDAC,, allowing excellent interoperability with your high fidelity sources as well as an excellent transmission rate and stability for accurate audio reproduction.
Finally, with the NFC pairing function, you can link your devices in one click and won't be bothered by a complicated pairing protocol.
The xDuoo amplifier / DAC benefits from a high-performance XMOS XU208 USB interface. This works asynchronously and also supports high resolution files up to 32bit 356kHz in PCM and native DSD256. Something to really enjoy your favorite songs, without limit.
The xDuoo XP-2 Bal can be combined with many audio sources, be they Android, iOS, MacOSX, Windows, so you can enjoy its amplification and conversation power, as well as its amazing sound reproduction, whether you're on the go or at home. In addition, to allow you to enjoy the best of your music.
In the case of the use with an iPhone it will be necessary to use the Camera Kit of Apple.
When using with an Android device, simply use an OTG USB cable.

The xDuoo XP-2 Bal, to fit all headphone types, headphones and EMI, offers two-level gain adjustment. A switch on the side of the unit changes from +3dB to +9dB.
DAC Out
Micro USB Input, 3.5mm Jack Auxiliary or Bluetooth 5.0, the XP-2 Bal offers many possible inputs. But you can also connect the XP-2 to active speakers, to enjoy only its high quality Digital to Analog conversion.
Embed microphone
A built-in audio microphone supports voice communication when the XP-2 BAL is used with its Bluetooth input using Qualcomm's CVC8.0 noise reduction technology.
