Enhanced for High-Resolution Audio, the S-Master HX digital amplifier reduces noise levels for the precision needed with high frequency ranges (above 40kHz).

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 it 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.
