Dual high-precision clock oscillators for 44.1KHz and 48KHz multiplier sampling

which effectively suppresses jitter and ensures more accurate audio decoding

Fully Balanced Circuit

NEO S circuit adopts fully balanced design with better noise immunity and low distortion filtering technology. Channel separation is improved and signal is stable by eliminating the common return circuit. Buffering and amplification of multi-level operational amplifiers completely simulate signal processing path and bring natural sound quality

HiFi Components

In order to achieve the monitor-level HiFi sound quality, NEO S adopts good circuit design, immersion gold main board, 6 operational amplifiers and selected HiFi components such as NICHCON, WIMA and ELNA

MQA (Master Quality Authenticated) MQA is an award-winning British technology

that delivers the sound of the original master recording
