xDuoo MU-601 DAC

The xDuoo MU-601 DAC is loaded with high-performing parts and components, but the final package—greater than the sum of these parts—is what really sings. An XMOS XU208 processing chip provides plenty of power and speed to run the show, while the ES9018K2M DAC chip allows for high-resolution decoding with very little harmonic distortion. The dual crystal oscillators deliver clock performance that allows for up to 384 kilohertz with remarkable stability, and the RUBYCON filter capacitors provide a warmth and roundness that audiophiles will really appreciate. xDuoo wraps it all up in a sleek, high-end enclosure with clear resolution indicators on the front, a USB-C input, and dual gold-plated analog RCA outputs alongside a gold-plated coaxial output.
