HIFIMAN GOLDENWAVE Serenade DAC and Headphone Amplifier
GOLDENWAVE Serenade is HIFIMAN's newest desktop DAC/Amp. Featuring a Hymalaya Pro R2R DAC and Class A headphone amplifier circuit, Serenade brings detailed sound to the music sourced by one of the many digital inputs. HYMALAYA Pro R2R DAC Equivalent to two PCM1704K balanced connections - Hymalaya Pro R2R DAC, with the added support of a new FPGA algorithm and 0.01% precision resistors, add up to performance that surpasses the PCM1704 in every way, reaching a THD (Total Harmonic Distortion) rate of -6dB 0.0012%. Legendary Foundation Serenade uses the legendary FET operational amplifier, with a discrete component LPF analog circuit that translates into detailed sound with high-precision, low-noise test indicators. The bold design of the whole signal path eliminates coupling capacitors, removing nonlinear distortion caused by electrolytic capacitors, leaving only pure, full range sonic output. Class A Headphone Amplifier Circuit The SERENADE amp circuit is based on a Class A desig
