DAC-K7
Reference DAC & Headphone Amplifier — ES9039PRO · Dual Femtosecond Clocks · XMOS · Fully Balanced Output
ES9039PRO DAC
Flagship 8-channel ESS DAC chip delivering reference-grade conversion with vanishing distortion.
Dual Femtosecond
Independent femtosecond clocks for the digital and analog domains — jitter essentially eliminated.
Fully Balanced
Pure balanced headphone amplification architecture from DAC output to the jack.
ESS ES9039PRO
The ES9039PRO is ESS’ flagship 32-bit DAC, offering exceptional dynamic range and a clean, layered soundstage across every source.
XMOS USB Controller
A dedicated XMOS XU-series controller handles USB audio with native DSD and PCM up to the highest resolutions, bit-perfect.
Dual Femtosecond Clocks
Separate femtosecond oscillators for 44.1k and 48k families keep timing razor-sharp and the presentation rock-steady.
Bluetooth 5.0
High-quality LDAC / aptX HD wireless reception lets the DAC-K7 double as a Bluetooth bridge to your wired headphones.
Precision Op-Amps
Carefully selected operational amplifiers shape the analog stage for a smooth, controlled and fatigue-free listening experience.
Low-Noise Power
An independent, well-regulated power stage isolates the audio circuitry from noise for a blacker background.
Engineered Mainboard
A purpose-built mainboard lays out digital and analog paths with disciplined separation for the cleanest signal path.
Balanced Amp Architecture
The headphone stage is built fully balanced end-to-end, driving demanding planar and dynamic cans with authority.
