OLED Touch Screen

The 5-inch OLED high-definition colorful touch screen is beautiful embedded full-screen design. Practical operations can be done with the collaboration of knobs, such as audio source switching, volume adjustment, system setting and playback status display.

Fever grade dual ES9068 DAC

NEO S firstly uses two ES9068 DAC as the core of audio decoding. Two-channel audio is decoded independently to avoid interference and get better SNR and dynamic range. Supporting up to DSD512, PCM768@32bit and three-layer 8 times expanded MQA encoding format hardware decoding.

Dual Discrete Power Supplies

Separate digital and analog power supplies to eliminate interference which significantly improves the sound purity. Linear power supply designed for analog audio circuits which is composed of multi-winding large toroidal transformers switching power supply with lower ripple and magnetic leakage interference.

Multiple Digital Inputs

Multiple ports including USB DAC, Optical, Coaxial and AES/EBU input support various devices like turntables and CD players. Perfect sound quality by the dual high-performance DAC.

Asynchronous USB DAC

NEO S is just a good solution for PC HiFi enthusiasts, USB DAC input supports asynchronous digital signal processing which can be used as a sound card when connected to PC. Also a professional USB DAC for IOS/Android phones or tablets via OTG.

High-performance headphone amplifier

Monitor amp module is built in NEO S, 4.4 balance and 6.35 headphone jacks are available. Fully-balanced voltage design and graded amplified current provide high current thrust. Two gain modes correspond to different impedance ranges of headphone. The ultimate sound quality is comparable to desktop headphone amplifier.

XMOS and Dual Clock

·          NEO S is equipped with XMOS chip and supports asynchronous transmission

·          Support up to DSD512 with native DSD, DXD and 768kHz/ 32bit PCM

·          Dual high-precision clock oscillators for 44.1KHz and 48KHz multiplier sampling which effectively suppresses jitter and ensures more accurate audio decoding

Fully Balanced Circuit

NEO S circuit adopts fully balanced design with better noise immunity and low distortion filtering technology. Channel separation is improved and signal is stable by eliminating the common return circuit. Buffering and amplification of multi-level operational amplifiers completely simulate signal processing path and bring natural sound quality.

HiFi Components

In order to achieve the monitor-level HiFi sound quality, NEO S adopts good circuit design, immersion gold main board, 6 operational amplifiers and selected HiFi components such as NICHCON, WIMA and ELNA.

MQA

MQA (Master Quality Authenticated) is an award-winning British technology that delivers the sound of the original master recording. The master MQA file is fully authenticated and is small enough to stream or download. NEO S adopts MQA technology to receive and decode MQA audio and provide master-level sound.
