The Audalytic AH90 is a DAC that offers superior decoding performance and accurate audio reproduction thanks to its carefully crafted design. At the same time, it has a reasonable price for its capabilities. In addition to featuring top-notch components such as the AKM AK4499EX DAC chip or the XMOS XU316 USB interface, the AH90 boasts extensive connectivity options, including balanced and single-ended amplified headphone outputs. Thanks to the RJ45 Ethernet port, this device can also be used as a streamer.
The Audalytic brand is a subsidiary brand of the famous company Gustard
With a built-in custom-programmed FPGA, the AH90 provides high-quality clock signal processing. Thanks to this, it is able to significantly reduce jitter levels, providing perfect signal synchronization and increased audio fidelity.
The AH90's USB-C input is combined with the third generation XMOS XU316 USB interface. This ensures efficient decoding of the signal through this input and supports high-resolution audio streams up to PCM 32-bit 768 kHz, DSD512 and MQA.
The Audalytic AH90 features a headphone amplifier with two outputs: a balanced 4.4mm Jack and a single-ended 6.35mm Jack. In addition, there are two levels of gain, which allows the device to adapt to the vast majority of headphones on the market.
The Audalytic AH90 has an Ethernet streamer function that allows you to stream music remotely. In particular, the DLNA, AirPlay and Roon protocols are supported, which allows you to access music from devices connected to the local network, be it a computer, NAS or smartphone.
The built-in CK-01 clock generator allows the AH90 to provide a high-precision clock signal to the FPGA. This significantly reduces device jitter.
The AH90 is capable of efficiently decoding MQA (Master Quality Authenticated) streams. They provide audio reproduction as close as possible to the original studio recording, thanks to files certified directly by the artist, record label or copyright holder.
