It’s a true all-in-one designed for audiophiles who want fewer boxes, better signal paths, and full control over how they listen. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003ch2\u003e\n \u003cstrong\u003ePlay it your way\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003c\/h2\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eThe Asura isn’t locked into one way of working. You can run it in three distinct modes—pure network decoding, integrated headphone amp, or integrated preamp. Want to use it as a straight decoder with your favorite amp? Done. Want a one-box desktop solution for your planar headphones? It’s got the power. Want it in the chain for volume control and preamp output to powered monitors? Yup. Just pick your mode and go.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003ch2\u003e\n \u003cstrong\u003eClean clocks, tight timing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003c\/h2\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eThe Asura uses YULONG’s 6th Gen JIC (Jitter and Interface Control) system with a local PLL-synchronized clock. That means network playback stays synced to the DAC itself—not the potentially noisy clock of your source device. When you're playing over LAN, the timing is rock-solid and the noise is minimal. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003ch2\u003e\n \u003cstrong\u003eBig DAC, tiny details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003c\/h2\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eThe Asura uses the flagship AK4499EX DAC chip, working in tandem with the AK4191 modulator and ultra-low-noise ADM7150 reference. It supports PCM up to 1536kHz and native DSD1024 through USB, with coaxial and optical inputs supporting DoP64 and DoP128. The THD+N is just 0.0001%.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003ch2\u003e\n \u003cstrong\u003ePower to spare\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003c\/h2\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eThe discrete Class-A headphone amplifier inside the Asura can push up to 5W into 32Ω from the balanced outputs. That's enough for just about anything short of an electrostat. It’ll also give you clean, articulate output even into 600Ω loads, with less than 0.001% distortion and under 1Ω output impedance. If you’ve got a favorite headphone, odds are the Asura will drive it well.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003ch2\u003e\n \u003cstrong\u003eFully balanced, fully analog volume\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003c\/h2\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eInstead of digital attenuation, the Asura uses a 99-step e-controlled analog volume control—so you keep the full resolution of your source no matter where the knob is. When you're using the Asura as a preamp, that means your powered speakers or downstream amplifier are getting a clean, full-voltage analog signal without any of the digital smearing or stepped degradation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003ch2\u003e\n \u003cstrong\u003eBuilt to stay put\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003c\/h2\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eThe Asura has a full aluminum chassis, a recessed spectrum analyzer display, and shock-absorbing feet.

On the back: RCA and XLR outs, Coaxial, Optical, USB, and LAN ins, and an AC inlet with a 110\/220V switch.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003ch3\u003e\n \u003cstrong\u003eProduct highlights\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003c\/h3\u003e\n \u003cul\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e6th Gen FPGA JIC (Jitter and Interface Control)\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eAK4499EX DAC + AK4191 modulator\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003ePCM up to 1536kHz, native DSD1024 via USB\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eDual femtosecond crystal oscillators with PLL sync\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eDiscrete fully balanced Class A headphone amp\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eUp to 5W output power @32Ω balanced\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eE-controlled 99-step analog volume control\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eRCA and XLR analog outputs\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eCoaxial, Optical, USB, and LAN inputs\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eThree operating modes: DAC-only, DAC + Headamp, DAC + Preamp\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eAirPlay, DLNA, Roon Bridge support\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eSpectrum analyzer display\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eAll-aluminum chassis with shock-absorbing feet\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003c\/ul\u003e\n \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n \u003cul\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eDigital audio input support\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cul\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eNET, Optical: PCM up to 24-bit\/192kHz;
