IBasso DX180: A Masterpiece of Audio Engineering with unparalleled DAC Performance. At the core of the DX180 lies the flagship CS43131 DAC array from Cirrus Logic. Renowned for its dynamic range of 130dB and ultra-low THD+N of -115dB, this DAC chip sets the standard for high-fidelity audio. The DX180 elevates this with an advanced DAC matrix technology, employing four CS43131 chips. This configuration not only matches but exceeds the theoretical limits of the CS43131, achieving an astonishing AP-measured THD+N of -121dB. This remarkable performance underscores the DX180's superior design and technology, setting it apart from competitors.

FPGA-MASTER 2.0: Precision and Clarity Redefined

Years of dedicated algorithm development have culminated in the FPGA-Master 2.0, the advanced audio system controller in the DX180. This controller directly sources audio data from the SoC, ensuring impeccable signal reproduction and integrity. Utilizing two NDK femtosecond oscillators, the FPGA-Master 2.0 synchronizes and generates all audio clocks, achieving a fully synchronized single clock source. With picosecond-level precision, it adjusts the DAC clock and data, optimizing the FIR filter for an enhanced listening experience.

Leading Algorithm for Superior FIR Output

The FPGA-Master 2.0 algorithm maximizes the capabilities of the four CS43131 DAC chipsets, transforming them into super performers. This advanced algorithm significantly enhances the normal performance of the CS43131, ensuring exceptional audio quality.
