The AI-301DA-X is a successor to the AI-301DA, offering a newly refined audio performance tuned in Europe.

In order to update the sound quality to meet today’s requirement for Hi-Res sound, our engineers have carried out an exhaustive development program using selected parts ranges exclusively specified for hi-fi applications.

Supporting DSD128 and PCM192/32 input from PC/Mac, an improved analog audio circuit delivers excellent sound quality, while a built-in Bluetoothreceiver supports the QualcommaptXcodec, allowing you to enjoy high-quality wireless audio streaming from a PC or tablet.

In addition, the AI-310DA-X’s subwoofer pre-out and auto-power on/off functions allow you to create a compact 2.1-channel home theater system that can be set to automatically power up when your TV set is turned on.

ICEpower Performance

The beating heart of the AI-301DA-X is a high performance, energy efficient power amplifier module from ICEpower of Denmark. Thanks to its intelligent energy management technology, the AI-301DA-X can deliver as much as 60W + 60W of output power.

Aluminum Body + Small Footprint

A sleek and compact body with a small footprint (215mm width, 254mm depth and 61mm height) allows you to place the AI-301DA-X in very small spaces, such as in a tiny gap in a TV stand or on a desktop. A beautifully machined aluminum volume knob and panels give it an innate feeling of elegance, while full-metal body construction achieves excellent vibration suppression, to minimise any adverse effects on sound quality.

Built-in Bluetooth®

The AI-301DA-X features a built-in Bluetooth. receiver module supporting the QualcommaptX. codec for high quality wireless audio streaming. QualcommaptX. achieves low-latency and excellent error recovery, resulting in superb sound, qualities which have made this codec an industry-standard for wireless streaming. And, for the benefit of those streaming from an iPhone/iPad, the high-performance AAC codec is also supported.

32-bit BurrBrown PCM1795 DAC

In order to process the huge amounts of digital audio data present in DSD128 and PCM 192kHz/32 content, a high-performance BurrBrown PCM 1795 D/A converter is employed. Its 32-bit processing conveys fine detail and a depth of sound from Hi-Res files that’s far beyond what you can hear from standard audio CD.
