INCORPORATING THE DUAL NUTUBES TO DELIVER RICH AND DYNAMIC AUDIO

iBasso has equipped the PB5 Osprey with the 6th Gen Nutube, manufactured by Korg and Noritake. The dual Nutubes are incorporated to operate as a conventional triode vacuum tube and create the same characteristic rich tones and dynamic overtones that can be enjoyed in a desktop tube amplifier. On the other hand, the Nutube also aims to achieve substantial power saving with high-efficiency design, miniaturization and improvement in sound quality. The Nutube in the iBasso PB5 Osprey also provides voltage amplification, which results in a captivating and distinctive vacuum tube sound, all while maintaining exceptional linearity in your music-listening experience.
