So far I have the DAART Aquila, has anyone got one of these, I have just had one delivered and it is playing really well with my HE-500
Features:
● Shielded transformer with a unique character of an isolator, which filters out high frequency noises
● Dop64 and Dop128 supported through SPDIF, Optical and AES.
● PCM 24bit 384KHz supported through SPDIF, Optical and AES.
● DoP64, DoP128,Native DSD64, 128, 256, and PCM 16-32bit, 32-384 KHz are supported via USB.
● Fully balanced decoder topology.
● Fully balanced high current preamplifier.
● Fully balanced headphone amplifier with TPA6120A2.Less than 4.7 ohm special output
● AK4497 DAC with low noise regulator at reference voltage and analogue supply.
● OPA1611 with ultralow distortion for LPF and high current OPA1688 for output buffer.
● Ultra-Low jitter PLLclock.
● Highly user customizable digital filter.
● Customizable sound mode.
● 99 steps volume control to pair with headphones in different impedance and sensitivity.
● Elegant front panel and aluminum housing. Unique claw-style suspension feet.
● Universal 110-240V mains power.
Yulong has a reputation for producing highly regarded all-in-one units, like the DA9 and the DA8. Now, the company aims to deliver the highest sound quality from a more compact all-in-one package. Introducing the Aquila: a balanced DAC/amp with all the inputs and outputs you could ask for, including USB, S/PDIF, and Toslink, plus RCA and outputs for dual-3pin XLR for driving studio monitors. The front panel has a standard 3.5-millimeter jack and a 4-pin XLR jack for driving balanced headphones. Using the balanced out, you’ll get significantly more power: 1.5 watts at 32 ohms, for example. The Aquila also offers a few unique sound modes. Mode 1 is balanced, mode 2 is great for classical music, and mode 3 emphasizes a strong voice presence, ideal for jazz vocals.
