USB bus powered. Top panel buttons for output level control and mute. Portable and compact size (95mm L x 30mm W x 16mm H 45.35 g) - Premium aluminum body for superior durability Groove's unique circuit design: An innovative output stage with constant current drive (CL) ensures linear, faithful reproduction of headphones, regardless of the impedance of the wide variety of headphones on the market. Groove's output stage adjusts the output voltage to match the impedance of the connected headphones, smoothly compensating for the changes in characteristics that occur with typical headphone outputs, ensuring faithful reproduction. Groove uses Quad Sum DAC technology, with four DA converters per channel, delivering the highest dynamic range and lowest distortion (THD+N) in its class. The ESS Sabre32 32-bit HyperStream DAC with Time Domain Jitter Eliminator delivers unparalleled dynamic range, ultra-low distortion, and crystal clear audio. Computers also have built-in DACs. However, built-in DACs are not as high quality as Groove. Details become unclear, and depth and three-dimensionality are lost. The sound quality lost in the DAC cannot be recovered, even if the sound quality of the following headphones or speakers is excellent. This is why the sound quality of the DAC is extremely important. Groove allows you to listen to music in the sound quality in which it was created. It is a device that allows you to experience the true nature of the music.
