XDUOO MU-601 USB DAC ES9018K2M XMOS XU208 32bit 384kHz DSD25

xDuoo offers with the MU-601 a small USB DAC, both affordable and efficient.

If it remains relatively simple, it uses however quality components, like a DAC ES9018K2M or a USB XMOS interface, allowing to read high resolution audio streams and to deliver a precise sound restitution.

ES9018K2M DAC
The digital to analog conversion stage of the xDuoo MU-601 uses an ES9018K2M DAC chip. Used in many HiFi audio devices, it ensures a high SNR and a very low THD+N level. Measures that allow a transparent sound restitution.

USB XMOS Interface
The MU-601 adopts an excellent USB XU208 interface, which enables efficient asynchronous signal transmission, reducing jitter. In addition, it supports high resolution files, up to 32bit 384kHz PCM and DSD256.

Two USB modes for maximum compatibility
On the back of the MU-601, a switch allows you to select the USB mode of the device, either USB 1.0 or 2.0. This feature ensures maximum compatibility, regardless of the device associated with the MU-601.


Dual clock
The MU-601 integrates two high quality oscillators as clock sources, one operating at 44.1k, the other at 48k and their respective multiples. These clocks allow a very good synchronization of the signals and thus a reduction of the jitter.

A neat power supply
The power supply stage of the MU-601 also benefits from a nice design. It features large Rubycon capacitors for filtering, providing a clean and stable power supply for the audio circuits.
