DUAL HI-RES AUDIO CERTIFIED DEVICE SUPPORTING 8X MQA UNFOLDING NATIVELY

Hi-Res Audio (HRA) is a standard for high-quality audio products set by the Japanese Audio Society (JAS) and Consumer Electronics Association (CEA), currently recognised and supported by premium devices, as well as audio connoisseurs far and wide. Hi-Res Audio Wireless(HRAW) is a subset of the Hi-Res Audio (HRA) for wireless audio products that support certified Bluetooth codecs. HRAW requires certified devices to be able to handle digital resolutions above 24-bit/96kHz. The Hidizs AP80 Pro-X is awarded both HRA and HRAW certification owing to its ability to playback hi-res files natively and wirelessly. HiDizs AP80 Pro-X includes MQA technology, with 8x unfolding, which enables you to playback MQA audio files and streams, delivering the sound of the original master recording.
