The new ESS ES9018K2M SABRE32 DAC provides high-quality digital-to-analogue conversion at reference level. The Class AB amplification is balanced and powerful, and the toroidal transformer produces an excellent sound image for music listening. Connectivity options cover a wide range of both digital and analogue inputs, including balanced XLR connections. There is also a Bluetooth aptX HD receiver for wireless playback as well as four pairs of speaker terminals and preamp outputs for active speakers and a subwoofer.
