Made with a robust "heart", for maximum effect

Employed in the KA1 is the ES9281AC PRO chip from ESS, which combines USB audio interface, DAC, and amplifier into one package. When combined with the multi-layered HDI gold-plated PCB it is on, the result is lower crosstalk, higher efficiency through lower power consumption, and ultimately high quality pure sound.

High-end decoding. Immensely capable.

With support up to 32bit/384kHz PCM and DSD256, you will surely be able to hear even the finest details within your music! (*DoP mode supports up to DSD128, Native mode supports up to DSD256.)

RGB status indicator

The RGB status indicator not only features captivating looks, but also conveniently displays the current audio format and sampling rate. (Blue: 48kHz or below sample rate; Yellow: Above 48kHz sample rate; Green: DSD tracks; Magenta: MQA rendering)
