Yuki, aune's new portable DAC with headphone amplifier, is equipped with a dual CS43198 DAC chip. aune has developed an innovative dual-layer structure that separates the digital circuit and the analogue headphone amplifier circuit. In addition, the 4-way balanced headphone amplifier has 4×4 transistors to drive the output. It is a unique "dongle" that focuses solely on sound.
The Yuki uses a special two-layer circuit board design. The discrete headphone amplifier board with ±5V power supply has 16 transistors that form the 4-way headphone amplifier. Compact yet powerful. Innovative dual-layer structure. One layer for the digital DAC circuitry, one for the analogue headphone amplifier circuitry. The Yuki has been designed with true high-fidelity reproduction in mind. The ultimate in sound quality is goal. Connect your smartphone/pad to the Yuki via USB and the sound quality is massively improved. It can be that simple to have high-quality sound anywhere. Connect the Yuki to your computer/laptop via USB, plug in your headphones and enjoy high resolution up to 32bit/768k DSD256. Excellent sound performance makes Yuki a great partner for all types of headphones. The headphone amplifier section uses several dedicated chips with ±5V supplies to power the 4 independent headphone amplifiers. This little thing has a lot of power in it.
