hiliDAC Audirect Beam 2 MQA DAC (Digital-to-Analog Converter)

The hiliDAC Beam 2 comes with the ESS9281C Pro chip along with 3.5 mm single-ended and 2.5 mm balanced headphone output ports. It supports audio output PCM encoding 32 bit / 384 kHz, DSD encoded audio, and decodes 64/128 (DOP). It also supports MQA and the lighting on its body changes color to denote what music format is being decoded: Red is for SD audio, Blue is for HD master audio, and Rose Red is for MQA master audio. Finally, Apos Audio also found that Beam 2 left and right channels have independent op amps and it further comes with a high-thrust circuit design.
