Earmen Tradutto dac

The ES9038Q2M DAC delivers excellent sound performance and can effortlessly handle digital audio files up to 32-bit / 768 kHz or DSD512. Furthermore, the entire circuit is optimized to consume less power and improve power filtering, resulting in minimal interference from Wi-Fi, mobile, and Bluetooth signals. EarMen Tradutto DAC.
MQA support: OFS (MQB/MQA Core, decoded file), MQA (MQA file decoded hardware-wise in our device and then played), MQA Studio (same as MQA, but with permission of an author or production company)
Digital optical, digital coaxial, and USB inputs – connect CD players, phones, tablets, game consoles, laptops, or other digital audio sources – just play!
Gold-plated PCB – Provides not only good, clean contact resistance but also a perfectly flat surface.
Built-in Qualcomm HD Bluetooth 5.1 (AAC/SBC/aptX/aptX LL/aptX HD) – BlueTooth QCC5124 is designed to meet the demand for robust, high-quality wireless Bluetooth listening experiences in small devices with low power consumption for extended audio playback. Qualcomm® aptX™ audio, aptX HD, and Qualcomm aptX Adaptive audio technologies are designed for consistent, high-quality audio streaming via Bluetooth.
XMOS 16-Core chip (XU216) – has enabled us with its excellent performance to carry out hardware decoding of MQA, as well as other necessary functions for listening to music (delivers double clock speed (2000 MIPS) and four times the memory (512KB).
TRADUTTO is fully balanced, which means the balanced outputs of the DAC go unchanged to the output, only amplified.

All sources

EarMen Tradutto allows you to enjoy music from any source, such as coaxial, USB, TOS Link connections, or HD Bluetooth. Wherever songs are played, TRADUTTO remains true to the character of each instrument and reveals a musicality you have never heard before. It offers a variety of options and freedom of choice that you can customize to your own sensitivities and capabilities.

MQA Studio audio quality
Tradutto supports Tidal Masters (MQA).

MQA (Master Quality Authenticated) is an award-winning British technology that delivers the sound of the original master recording. The master MQA file is fully authenticated and small enough to stream or download. Visit mqa.co.uk for more information.

Exceptional audio performance

The core of Tradutoo is the extremely high-quality ESS Saber digital-to-analog converter ES9038K2M which delivers excellent sound performance and can handle digital audio files up to 32-bit / 768 kHz or DSD512, allowing you to enjoy high-resolution music in every detail. EarMen Tradutto is designed for true audiophiles.

Exceptional craftsmanship
Tradutto is made of a full aluminum housing, making it extremely durable and robust. The compact design makes it suitable for any environment, system, or home. The PCB is embedded in a sturdy aluminum housing, providing better protection for the circuit board in the housing and additional insulation from external influences.

The finest DAC circuit

We have used XMOS with 16 cores (XU216), which with its excellent performance has allowed us to hardware-decode MQA, as well as other necessary functions for listening to music.

The clock is carefully tuned and has minimal jitter.

The digital and analog parts of the circuit are also carefully separated by the power supply.

We have used Wima capacitors to obtain the lowest THD, as well as audio electrolytes combined with MELF low-noise resistors and SoundPlus OPA1642 operational amplifiers which prove to be great for a neutral sound.”
