As the “engine” of the audio system, Current Mode Amplification features a fully discrete and topological structure, and can achieve ultra-high sound performance that reproduces music so faithfully, it feels like you are in the original recording room. Using Current Mode Amplification technology, listeners can attain a much better listening experience, even when using consumer-grade headphones and speaker systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter 3 years of pre-research with ESS, Questyle selected the flagship DAC ES9038PRO, a decoding chip with the most powerful performance of any DAC invented to date, and jointly launched CMA Fifteen with ESS, supporting 32bit\/768K and DSD 512 master band formats.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0023\/9255\/5595\/files\/15_front_2048x2048.jpg?v=1639520004\" alt=\"Questyle CMA Fifteen\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCurrent Mode Amplification Meets Current mode DAC=Current Mode²\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo chase extreme performance, almost all high-end DAC chips from world-renowned manufacturers feature current-type output, which in most traditional amplifiers, is then coupled with an IV converter and classical amplifier architecture.

These “discrete operational amplifiers” are called OP2-BP, and are designed and produced by Weiss. Their performance far exceeds commonly-available monolithic op-amp chips, and contribute to Helios’ extraordinary sound quality and unmatched signal to noise ratio of 128 dB.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Weiss DAC 501\/502 MK2 share the same circuitry and componentry, and differ primarily in form-factor: the DAC501 MK2 is a compact, half-width unit, allowing placement flexibility in desktop and studio applications, as well as in home systems of any size.

All sensitive voltages have their own regulators which are separated between left and right channels. The result is an analog output free of “digital noise” and channel crosstalk. The power switch activates a semiconductor relay which only switches on or off at zero crossings of the mains voltage. This assures a glitch free power switching. The two mains transformers are toroidal types. Mains voltage selection is done automatically by measuring the mains voltage before power is applied to the rest of the electronics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSynchronization\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn internal high precision \/ low jitter clock generator is responsible for clocking the D\/A converter section.

With speakers this is difficult to achive as the left channel goes to the left and the right ear. But with some clever signal processing of the speaker channels is is possible to suppress the crosstalk, i.e. the audio going from the left speaker to the right ear and vice versa.

Both line output stages and headphone output stages are built with Weiss’ proprietary discrete electronics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth units incorporate a stainless steel chassis with a robust 10mm aluminum faceplate. Digital processing is performed by a pair of 32-bit ESS Sabre DAC chips per channel, providing superb channel separation and noise-rejection in both two and four channel applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat’s most significant, however, is the unit’s analog stage, whose new discrete operational amplifiers are of the utmost importance. These “discrete operational amplifiers” are called OP2-BP, and are designed and produced by Weiss. Their performance far exceeds commonly-available monolithic op-amp chips, and contribute to Helios’ extraordinary sound quality and unmatched signal to noise ratio of 128 dB.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Weiss DAC 501\/502 MK2 share the same circuitry and componentry, and differ primarily in form-factor: the DAC501 MK2 is a compact, half-width unit, allowing placement flexibility in desktop and studio applications, as well as in home systems of any size. The DAC502 MK2 features a standard, full-width chassis; it also differs from the 501 by including a four-pin balanced headphone connector on the back of the enclosure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0023\/9255\/5595\/files\/DAC502_PERSP_B_2048x2048.jpg?v=1649703309\" alt=\"Weiss DAC502\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePower Supply\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA powerful non-switching power supply is used. All sensitive voltages have their own regulators which are separated between left and right channels. The result is an analog output free of “digital noise” and channel crosstalk. The power switch activates a semiconductor relay which only switches on or off at zero crossings of the mains voltage. This assures a glitch free power switching. The two mains transformers are toroidal types. Mains voltage selection is done automatically by measuring the mains voltage before power is applied to the rest of the electronics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSynchronization\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn internal high precision \/ low jitter clock generator is responsible for clocking the D\/A converter section. The sampling frequency of that generator is fixed at about 195kHz. The input signals are converted to the 195kHz sampling frequency for optimal signal quality. This scheme also helps significantly in reducing any jitter related effects.

Dummy head recordings usually are listened to via headphones because they only work properly if the left channel goes to the left ear only and the right channel to the right ear only. With speakers this is difficult to achive as the left channel goes to the left and the right ear. But with some clever signal processing of the speaker channels is is possible to suppress the crosstalk, i.e. the audio going from the left speaker to the right ear and vice versa. If that works properly then the recording sounds as if one would be in the space where the recording has taken place.

Each is available separately, but the design intention is to combine all three into the ultimate trifecta of audio bliss. The package is intimidating, so prepare yourself for a bit more than a typical DAC \/ amp setup. The material design is rewardingly premium with high attention to detail, yet refreshingly simple. The features and specs are broad with compatibility and accessibility for today’s arsenal of modern audiophile solutions, particularly network streaming and high-quality sample frequency and format playback. And with the ability to increase the output gain, no worries driving the harder end of the headphone spectrum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSonically, the full Lina system sounds as if it’s not there at all: it’s simply the most transparent audio stack we’ve ever heard, like plugging your headphones directly into the studio mixing board. Every minute detail, no matter how small, is heard, and the perception is perfectly natural and neutral with detail and imaging, but without any exaggeration. It’s just so lifelike.

Take note: in Bluetooth mode, source device and HB1 volume controls are both active, so be sure to balance the two (USB mode disables source volume.) The AK Connect App is super convenient for managing many of HB1's features. All together, a nice package with solid functionality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe have to admit A\u0026amp;K's typical premium build and design comes up short: it's a square black box with a volume knob, 3 buttons, and plastic parts. However, sonically, HB1 totally exceeded our expectations. Even using Bluetooth, the sound was clean, spacious, and resolving. HB1 has a neutral, reference tuning loaded with detail and clarity, but also avoids graininess or harshness. Using the USB connection, HB1 had best in class sound, and without careful listening, you don't miss much when you flip it to Bluetooth. While some skimping may have been done on the build, clearly no expense was spared anywhere else.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca title=\"Ultra-portable Elegance Astell\u0026amp;Kern HB1 Review\" href=\"https:\/\/bloomaudio.mom\/blogs\/articles\/ultra-portable-elegance-astell-kern-hb1-review\"\u003eRead our full review here\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gCFCl7dTtrI?si=HWqvQzMXnU3Ys5vN\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eExperience the Freedom of Music\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAstell\u0026amp;Kern's AK HB1 is a portable Bluetooth DAC\/AMP that lets you effortlessly experience high-quality audio and Hi-Fi streaming services with maximum performance, all without the hassle of cables.
