M500 Audio DAC Headphone Amplifier
Ten years of ingenuity, with a professional technology and attitude to present you with a high-quality hearing feast.

Aluminium alloy CNC precision machining shell
Using anodised technology and chamfering process high-grade appearance, delicate touch exquisite and durable.

Tempered glass panel
Higher light transmittance, which emphasizes simplicity and beauty. With 2.19-inch LG display, high-end and durable.

What is MQA?
MQA (Master Quality Authenticated) is an award-winning British technology that delivers the sound of the original master recording. The master MQA file is fully authenticated and is small enough to stream or download.

‘MQA’s Music Origami’
M500 includes a full MQA Decoder which will unfold the file to deliver the highest possible sound quality. At this level of playback you will be hearing what the artists created in the studio. M500 supports MQA decoding via USB input only.

PCM playback supports up to 32bit/768kHz
The M500 is also capable of playing high resolution PCM digital audio up to 32 bits. Capable of sampling digital audio up to 32bit/768kHz without the need to reduce the sample rate. At the same time the M500 also supports up to DSD512 native DSD playback without conversion.

Independent volume adjustment function
Independent headphone volume design does not interfere with the preamp volume.

One-click switching, mutual memory
When using the M500’s headphone amplifier and preamplifier functions at the same time, the conversion output no longer needs to be turned back.

Rich and high quality interface
M500 all inputs support DSD transmission, coaxial and optical port support DoP64.

High power current drive headphone amp
Discrete components high power and high current drive headphone amp circuit, providing greater headphone thrust, up to 300Ohm headphone support. (Support most headphones).

Wireless remote control can be used as a preamp
Small, durable full-featured remote control, convenient and easy to use.

Hi-Fi level internal material
M500 uses top performance D/A chip ES9038PRO from ESS Technology. The DAC chip achieves the highest performance in the industry with a SNR of 140dB and total harmonic distortion plus noise of -122dB. It is also a 32bit, eight-channel DAC chip with high resolution and high SNR and high dynamic frequency response rate which makes the M500 achieve 0.00015% low distortion.

The high-performance power supply chip ES9311, the noise of ES9311 is as low as 1uVrms to push ES9038PRO to the limit.

Special design of discrete components high current headphones amplifier for higher damping factor.

3 high-end dual op-amps LME49720 are used. The M500 enables low noise density and low distortion for maximum dynamic range and provides high output drive capability.

Independent headphone volume design, does not interfere with the preamp volume; Special design of discrete components high current headphones amplifier for higher damping factor.

The newest XMOS XU216 USB program
USB uses the newest XMOS XU-216, true 32bit USB program, with custom drivers, DoP and native DSD can provide better support for the transmission of various HD audio.
