XMOS USB HiFi sound card solution

More and more consumers are becoming dissatisfied with the audio output quality of old computers or mobile devices and are looking for external devices to achieve a higher quality audio experience. With the popularization of high-resolution audio formats such as PCM up to 32-bit/384kHz and DSD, there is a growing need for audio accessories equipped with high-performance DACs and corresponding processing capabilities to support the decoding and playback of these formats. In professional audio fields such as music editing, music production, and professional recording, high-fidelity audio output is also essential. People also want to enjoy high-end audio quality while running or traveling. The Phaten XMOS USB HiFi sound card was developed to meet these needs.

The Phaten XMOS USB HiFi sound card solution is designed to improve the audio output quality of computers or mobile devices. It connects to a computer or other digital audio source via a USB interface, providing higher audio resolution and sound quality performance than built-in audio processors. Below are the main features and working principles of the Phaten XMOS USB HiFi sound card solution:

Main Features:

1.High-Resolution Audio Support: Supports high-resolution audio formats such as PCM up to 32-bit/384kHz and DSD audio formats, capable of reproducing more musical details.
2.Low Noise and Distortion: Equipped with a high-performance digital-to-analog converter (DAC) and a low-noise amplifier (AMP), providing clear, low-distortion audio output.
3.Flexible Interfaces: Includes a variety of input and output interfaces such as a 3.5mm headphone jack, RCA line output, optical or coaxial digital input, to meet the needs of different devices and scenarios.
