“ESS always improves on previous products and the ESS SABRE ES9038PRO breaks all the old benchmarks – both qualitatively and quantitatively. It has unmatched technical specifications and more importantly the sound is spectacular,” says Dan Christman, Chief Marketing Officer of ESS Technology. “It was natural for us to collaborate with Ayre, a company revered by both audiophiles and musicians for superb audio quality. The Ayre QX-5 Twenty extends the audiophile excellence that ESS and Ayre have built together over the past decade.”

Ayre’s new QX-5 Twenty Digital Hub features every conceivable digital input, including Ethernet, Streamlength asynchronous USB, S/PDIF (in three different formats), and even direct connection to thumb drives and NAS storage. Streaming with both Tidal and Deezer are fully supported, and Roon ready control is directly integrated as well. The ES9038PRO in the QX-5, combined with Ayre’s custom minimum-phase digital filter, implemented in a low noise FPGA, renders an astonishing level of detail and purity, regardless of format.

Ayre has also partnered with Morion (www.morion.com.ru) to develop a new high-performance crystal oscillator that offers the lowest levels of phase noise in the industry. Morion has decades of experience supplying satellite-grade crystal oscillators, including those powering the guidance system of the International Space Station. A specially developed new doubly-rotated cut quartz crystal allows this high level of precision timing to be achieved without the need for expensive temperature-controlled ovens.

The flagship ES9038PRO SABRE DAC sets a new benchmark for audio quality with the industry’s highest dynamic range (DNR), in a 32-bit, 8-channel DAC. The ES9038PRO was designed for premium audio equipment and for serious audio enthusiasts, featuring ESS’ patented 32-bit HyperStream technology with-122dB total harmonic distortion plus noise (THD+N). The HyperStream architecture is responsible for both the sound quality of the ES9038 and the extremely low THD+N.

Preamplifier Ayre Acoustics KX-R Twenty

Mai Nguyen — Tue, 14 Jul 2015 10:09:24 +0000

Kể từ khi giới thiệu preamplifier KX-R năm 2008, Ayre đã thực hiện nhiều dự án nghiên cứu các công nghệ mới khác nhau. Trong quá trình làm việc xuyên suốt hành trình âm nhạc này, nền tảng kiến thức có được của họ đã hết sức phát triển trong mọi lĩnh vực thuộc thiết kế mạch âm thanh. Những hiểu biết này đã được ứng dụng ở mức cao nhất trong sản phẩm KX-R Twenty được thiết kế lại hoàn toàn. Các công nghệ và nâng cấp cho KX-R đã cho ra đời chiếc preamplifier mang đầy tính cách mạng thời đại, giống như những gì mà KX-R đã thể hiện trước đây khi nó được giới thiệu chính thức với volume control Variable Gain Transconductance (VGT) đầu tiên trên thế giới. Lần trình diễn đầu tiên của bộ nguồn AyreLock đã sử dụng loại ổn áp riêng biệt có điện dung gấp hơn 2 lần so với bộ nguồn cũ, cho phép cung cấp độ động nhiều lớp mạnh mẽ. Ayre cũng tối ưu hóa ánh xạ hiện tại và tầng xuất Ayre Diamond được thêm vào nhằm truyền tải cảm giác chân thực tuyệt vời mà bạn sẽ đắm say ngay từ nốt nhạc đầu tiên. Bạn sẽ khám phá ra rằng cả độ phân giải chi tiết và khả năng nhận biết tinh tế trong KX-R Twenty đều đến từ hàng trăm giờ đồng hồ nghe test, nhờ đó họ có thể chọn được linh kiện tốt nhất cho từng khu vực trọng yếu dọc theo mạch âm thanh. Và cuối cùng, với quan điểm tất cả mọi thứ đều có ý nghĩa, họ đã nghiên cứu từng chi tiết một từ mạch cho đến các linh kiện và đã thêm vào những quy trình mà nhiều người sẽ cho là cuồng tín, nhằm đẩy chiếc preamplifier này đến bờ sự hoàn hảo. Hãy cùng kỉ niệm hai mươi năm khám phá và sáng chế với KX-R Twenty.
