How High-Resolution Audio works
High-Resolution Audio refers to a collection of digital processes allowing the encoding and playback of music using higher sampling rates than those used in CDs.
Engineered for exceptional sound
Two super-tweeters, two mid-range speakers, and a subwoofer work together, driven by a total of five high-powered amplifiers and made of premium materials—for results that will be music to your ears.
S-Master™ HX
S-Master HX™ digital amp technology, developed for High-Resolution Audio, reduces distortion and noise across a wide frequency range – for rich, full-bodied sound.
Music enriched
DSEE HX™ upscales your existing music to near high-resolution sound quality, and makes you feel as if you are really there at the recording studio or concert.
ClearAudio+
ClearAudio+ optimizes audio so you hear all your music with clarity and separation.
Savor every note
Traditional amps require multiple digital to analog conversions—each affecting quality. The S-Master amp is 100% digital for more power without distortion, improving efficiency, and reducing size. Enhanced for High-Resolution Audio, the S-Master HX digital amplifier reduces noise levels for the precision needed with high frequency ranges (above 40 kHz).
Enhanced for High-Resolution Audio
The S-Master HX digital amp reduces distortion for precise results for high frequency ranges (above 40 kHz).
Restore all your compressed files
The Digital Sound Enhancement Engine HX (DSEE HX) upscales your compressed digital music files (MP3, ACC, ATRAC and WMA) and takes them closer to the quality of High-Resolution Audio. By restoring the high-range sound lost in the compression process, DSEE HX produces your digital music files in rich, natural sound, closer to the quality of the original recording.
