Core Technology: Flagship DAC & Amplifier Architecture

The player's outstanding sound quality originates from its advanced internal audio circuit design.

ESS ES9038Q2M: The Heart of the Sound

The H20 Ultra features the ESS ES9038Q2M flagship DAC (Digital-to-Analog Converter). The DAC chip converts digital audio files into analog signals that our ears can hear. The ES9038Q2M chip is a strong guarantee of audio quality:

  • Native DSD256 Decoding: Capable of directly decoding the DSD256 format, one of the highest-level digital audio formats available, which provides extreme detail and natural sound.
  • PCM 768kHz/32bit: Supports PCM formats up to 768kHz/32bit, far surpassing the standard CD quality (44.1kHz/16bit).
  • Dual Amplifier Architecture: Paired with dual RT6862/6863 amplifier chips, it ensures the audio signal is amplified cleanly and powerfully before reaching the headphones.

Studio-Grade Audio Performance

The H20 Ultra's audio performance metrics meet an impressive "studio-grade" standard:

  • Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) of 115dB: An 115dB SNR means extremely low background noise, resulting in purer, cleaner audio.
  • Ultra-Low Total Harmonic Distortion plus Noise (THD+N) of only 0.005%: Low distortion guarantees accurate sound reproduction, making the music sound closer to the original recording.

Powerful Connectivity and Driving Capability

A professional player must have strong driving power to meet the needs of various headphones.

4.4mm Balanced Output: Unleash Your Headphone’s Potential

  • 4.4mm Balanced Output: The balanced circuit design effectively eliminates common-mode noise, providing a cleaner soundstage with better separation.
  • 3.5mm Single-Ended Output: Compatible with your everyday standard headphones.
  • Strong Driving Power: Offers an output power of up to 340mW at 32Ω impedance, easily driving demanding audiophile over-ear headphones.

USB DAC and SPDIF: Flexible HiFi Integration

The H20 Ultra can function as both a standalone player and integrate into your desktop HiFi system:

  • USB DAC Input/Output: You can connect it to your computer to use it as a high-quality external sound card (USB DAC), or output the digital audio signal via USB to another decoder.
  • SPDIF: Supports SPDIF output via USB, offering flexible expansion for your HiFi setup.

LDAC and aptX HD: These ensure the wireless transmission of high-resolution audio.

Two-Way TX/RX Modes:

  • TX (Transmitter): Wirelessly sends the H20 Ultra's high-definition music to your LDAC/aptX HD Bluetooth headphones or speaker.
  • RX (Receiver): Receives music streamed via LDAC from your phone or other device, then processes it through the H20 Ultra's superior DAC and amplifier, effectively turning it into a high-performance wireless headphone amplifier.

Premium Craftsmanship and User Experience

The H20 Ultra’s design reflects professional-grade quality and user-friendly operation:

  • 4-inch Full Touchscreen: Provides an intuitive user interface (UI) for smooth operation.
  • ALPS Crown Volume Knob: Offers precise, tactile volume control with a premium mechanical feel.
