The integrated headphone amplifier is equally impressive, delivering 2.5 watts per channel into 16 ohms and 1.7 watts into 32 ohms, providing ample power to drive even demanding headphones with ease. For wireless convenience, Bluetooth 5.1 connectivity is included, allowing seamless streaming from any compatible device. The RAW-MDA1 supports an extensive range of formats, including PCM up to 768 kHz at 32 bits and DSD up to 22.5792 MHz, alongside optical input handling up to 192 kHz. With a signal-to-noise ratio of 132 dB via XLR and 127 dB via RCA, the dynamic range is truly exceptional. Housed in a compact chassis measuring just 189 x 45 x 179 mm, this DAC combines cutting-edge technology with practical design, making it a versatile and powerful addition to any audio setup.
