Description

DX260
Quad DAC Digital Audio Player
Advanced music player with superb QUAD DAC array and astonishingly low noise floor
CS43131 × 4, Flagship DAC Array
The CS43131, a flagship DAC chip from Cirrus Logic, boasts an impressive dynamic range of 130dB and an incredibly low THD+N of -115 dB. The DX180 utilizes the same DAC matrix technology as the DX260, with 4pcs CS43131 chips working in unison to exceed the theoretical technical limit of the CS43131. The AP measured THD+N reaches an impressive -121dB, demonstrating the superior technology and design concept utilized by the DX180, surpassing that of its competitors.


FPGA-MASTER 2.0 The Enhanced Audio System Controller
After years of algorithm development, our FPGA-Master has entered generation 2.0. As the audio system controller, it directly requests audio data from the SoC and plays a major role in signal reproduction and maintaining signal integrity. It synchronizes and generates all audio clocks utilizing two NDK femtosecond oscillators to achieve a fully synchronized single clock source. The FPGA-Master 2.0 also has picosecond-level precise control and adjusts the DAC clock, and data, and constructs the FIR filter.
Leading Algorithm to Achieve FIR 2x Output
The FPGA-Master 2.0 algorithm fully exploits the capabilities of the 4pcs CS43131 DAC chipsets, greatly enhancing the CS43131’s normal performance and allowing it to become a super performer.

Synchronous parallel output mode:
This reduces “discrete distortion” between DACs to improve overall performance.

84 Minutes of Charging, 15.5 Hours Playtime
The DX180 is compatible with PD3.0 and QC3.0 fast charge. The battery reaches 83% charge in just 60 minutes, and a full 100% charge is achieved in a mere 84 minutes. Additionally, the improved power management system allows for an impressive battery life of up to 15.5 hours for balanced phone out usage and an astonishing 30 hours for Line Out playtime.
Removeable Back Cover
DX180 features a striking new design with an easily removable back cover for convenient future battery replacement.


Android 13, System-level “Non-SRC”
DX180 is equipped with Android 13 system OS, which allows you to freely install streaming APPs and enjoy the convenience of Android. The DX180 bypasses Sample Rate Conversion at the system level whether it is Mango Player or third-party streaming APPs – so you can enjoy the system-level “Non-SRC” feature, and enjoy Hi-res music.

FIR 2x mode
FPGA-MASTER 2.0 achieves picosecond-level precise control and adjustment of the DAC clock and data, making each DAC data stream independently adjustable. Through the “delay parallel” of DACs, the DACS form a hardware analogue FIR filter, which averages the differences between multiple DACs, reducing distortion and effectively improving sound details and the quality of the bitstream.
Astonishingly True AP Measurements
The true measurements of DX170 are close to the theoretical limits of the CS43131 chipset. However, the DX180 has gone a step further, completely surpassing the obstacles and becoming an insurmountable peak in this price range.
Qualcomm Snapdragon 665 SoC Smooth Operation in All Scenarios
The DX180 employs the Qualcomm Snapdragon 665 SoC, featuring an 8-core architecture and an advanced 11nm process. This results in reduced heat generation and enhanced stability for seamless operation. With the Micro SD card expansion, the DX180 can provide an impressive 2TB of extra storage space. No matter how much music you adore, the DX180 can effortlessly accommodate it all.
