Groove's unique circuit design
Quad Sum DAC™
Groove also features a quad-sum DAC design that achieves the highest dynamic range and lowest distortion (THD+N) of any device in its class with four digital-to-analog converters per channel.
Constant Current Drive™
Groove's Constant Current Drive output stage dynamically compensates for the non-linearities - acoustic, mechanical, or electrical - of a connected headphone, resulting in lower distortion and a more linear frequency response. Whether you listen with earbuds or hi-fi headphones, you'll discover a new level of fidelity, clarity, and detail.
ESS Sabre DAC-Technologie
The ESS Sabre32 32-bit hyperstream DAC with Time Domain Jitter Eliminator provides unmatched dynamic range, ultra-low distortion, and audio clarity without input jitter.
