Flagship structure, major breakthrough

Patent structure designed specialized for Hi-End

tProvide each format of music with precise clock, denoising process and synchronous playback.
tAfter 5 times FPGA upgrade, the structure achieved a new high level in both functionality and performance.

Last FPGA

tPerformance doubles with main clock remained to low to reduce greatly of the low frequency noise because of rising clock frequency.
tRedesigned CPU board and program optimization improve 30% of the CPU performance.

Core technology & HiFi material

Full DC single end amplification technology

tReduce the distortion of DA chip in amplification process. The sound is more real without the distortion of coupling capacitance’s phase position, frequency response and information content. But it has higher standard of the material precision and matching. So we choose high-precision MUSE operational amplifier, thus the analog amplifier of A1 all adopts high-precision material to amplify symmetrically.

Adopting MR1 V2’s analog DA power supply technology

tMR1 V2 decreases internal resistance of analog power supply from 200 milliohm to 10 milliohm instantaneously, discharge ability increases by 20 times with lower noise to better output perfect waveform.

Top power supply, HiFi design

tAdopting high quality iron core transformer and high current power filter, analog and digital linear power supply separately. Soundaware remains independent power supply for ARM, USB, FPGA and analog linear, almost all the 20 secondary power supply lines adopt the LDO voltage stabilization with ultra-low noise. Core capacitors include rubycon ZLH class high frequency low resistance series, ELNA CERAFINE and other classic material. Tune style is more close to M2pro and A280 Femto, featuring transparent, delicate and Hi-Res sound.

HiFi is more than above

Roon ready support

tPlay lossless PCM384kHz and native DSD256
tRich off-line music management
tQobuz, HQplayer and Tidal all support

Seamless playback

tAs a most important feature in HIFI field, seamless playback in same frequency is equipped with native and Roon ready play, bringing brilliant experience as playing CD and SACD.

FPGA HiFi level Bluetooth

tAdopting the same-designed FPGA of A300 plus independent high precision ultra-low noise clock to process secondary jitter process, so as to achieve high fidelity playback from Bluetooth.

Big screen & big font, plug & play storage

tDirect operate via buttons and remote, regardless of the distance.

Abundant online music supported

tDLNA
tHiFi Bluetooth
tAirplay
tRoon Ready

USB interface

tHigh performance sound card and interface technology: XMOS provides data channel, FPGA processes jitters in the standard of HiFi level, offering an interface that combines cellphone, Pad and PC. Then the amplification works in mono, native and full DC condition, plus better isolation and optimization, thus perform close to the playback effect of FPGA.
