The NiPO A100 Magnetic DAC/Amp is a compact, high-performance portable solution built for audiophiles who value versatility and premium build quality. For the MT Special Edition, NiPO upgraded the amp chip to the ultra-low-noise SGM8262 and, with our input, fine-tuned the capacitor configuration. The result? A richer, fuller sound with lusher mids and bolder bass compared to the original A100. Best of all, the A100 MT Special Edition is available at the same price—now with even better performance. It’s your new go-to powerhouse on the move!
