Play back your music in higher quality

The performance of D9OLE has reached a new peak: THD+N <0.00005%. Clearer details are at your finger-tips

Note: Above spec was measured under A-weighted.

Bluetooth 5.0 LDAC transmission

D9OLE has the certification of Hi-Res Audio Wireless and LDAC. It uses CSR8675 chipset to support LDAC/AAC/SBC/APTX/APTX LL/APTX HD protocol.
To get even better sound quality from Bluetooth, we abandon the built-in DAC of CSR8675 and connect it’s digital signal to ES9038PRO to decode.

Plug and play

D9OLE has a wide range of compatibility:;Windows 10 and above, MAC, Linux, 1OS, Android can be plug and play. Only for Windows ASIO applications, you need to install the driver and set it up.

**Turn your PC into a HIFI source

**

D9OLE uses 2nd generation XMOS, USB supports up to PCM32bit768kHz and DSD512 native. With the help of customized Thesycon ASIO driver(for Win 10 and above), your PC will serve as a HIFI source.(Mac needn’t a driver to achieve ASIO)

IIS input supports up to DSD512 native

When there is a better interface, you can use the HDMI cable to directly send the IIS signal into the DOOLE’s ESS9038PRO for better decode. iS input can support up to PCM32bit768kHz & DSD512native. The IIS input provides phase settings, DSD channel settings, and DSD indicator pin selection settings, which are compatible with most digital interfaces on the market that use the HDMI interface to output IIS signals.

This function uses only HDMI interface to transmit IIS signal instead of the standard HDMI signals. Thus it cannot be used for HDMI interface of the PC, TV, and set-top box.

**Selectable output

**

D9OLE has balanced XLR output and single ended RCA output. You can choose ”XLR only”, “RCA only” or “XLR+ RCA” output to for different applications.

XLR 4V/5V & RCA 2V/2.5V selectable output
We understand that in addition to the more versatile XLR 4V and RCA 2V outputs, there are also extensive needs for XLR 5V and RCA 2.5V. D9OLE adds options to set this to meet a wider range of needs. When XLR 4V and RCA 2V are selected, more devices can be adapted; when XLR 5V and RCA 2.5V are selected, the performance will be pushed from extreme to more extreme.

Preamplifier function

In addition to the DAC mode with a fixed output level, the D9OLE also has a DAC+preamplifier mode. In this mode, you can control the output volume on the front panel or at the remote control. This will provide great convenience when connected to a power amplifier or monitor speakers. And also help you leave the budget of a preamplifier.

Of course, these are more important
Different from the conventional parallel connection and then I/V conversion, the D9OLE perform independent I/V conversion for the 8 channels of ES9038PRO and then connect them in parallel, which reproduces the real “4 x DAC parallel connection” in terms of sound effects and technology. This makes D9OLE different from other DAC products using ES-9038PRO.

We use CPLD to process the clock and greatly optimize the digital signal, so that regardless of USB, optical, coaxial, AES input, Jitter is lower than -160dB

Sound simulation

According to the unique harmonic performance of tubes and transistors, we added the sound simulation function of tubes and transistors to the D9OLE, so that you can hear 3 different performance.

Channel balanced settings adjustable within 10dB in 0.5dB steps.

A90 Discrete will be the best headphone amplifier for DOOLE

Full balanced discrete NFCA module, ultra high output capability, 0.000055% ultra low THD+N. 0.1 ohm output impedance, wide gain setting, high output voltage, almost suitable for driving all kinds of headphones.

Brightness*

“Note:

“DIS: A” has the same brightness as “DIS: M”. The differences lie in when there is no operation after 30 seconds under ” DIS: A” mode, the screen will be automatically turned off, only display a dot at the bottom right corner. You can press any button to light up the screen.
When D90LE is in Bluetooth input state, keep pressing the brightness button for 3 seconds to disconnect the existing Bluetooth connection and forcibly enter into Bluetooth pairing state.
