DESCRIPTION
ENJOY YOUR MUSIC WITH THE ALL-NEW KZ AM01 TYPE-C DONGLE DAC & AMP
KZ, a brand recognised for its budget-friendly IEMs, has now expanded into the DAC&Amp domain with the new AM01 dongle DAC. In the contemporary era of music streaming, having a dependable digital-to-analogue converter is essential for enjoying music. Whether you're dealing with lossy formats like MP3 and WMA or lossless ones such as WAV and FLAC, these audio file formats store sound data as digital signals. The primary role of a DAC (Digital-to-Analog Converter) chip is to translate these digital signals into analogue current signals that can drive audio output devices. KZ's AM01 is designed to provide a high-quality and robust DAC solution at an affordable price point. The AM01 incorporates a high-performance DAC chip and a dedicated amplifier chip to deliver an exceptional listening experience.
FEATURES A HIGH-PERFORMANCE INDEPENDENT DAC CHIP FOR CLEAN SOUND
The KZ AM01 incorporates a cutting-edge high-performance DAC decoding chip that utilises the latest manufacturing process, boasting low standby power consumption of just 10mW/h. This stands in contrast to many decoding chips in the market, which employ outdated manufacturing processes and exhibit high power consumption of 40-50mW/h even when idle. This chip equips the KZ AM01 with an impressive signal-to-noise ratio of up to 124dB and a dynamic range of 111dB, guaranteeing a precise one-to-one conversion of digital signals into pristine lossless audio quality. Notably, the PCM sampling rate of the KZ AM01 reaches an impressive 32-bit/384kHz. Consequently, when the playback device and source meet specific criteria and are paired with the KZ AM01, you can readily enjoy a listening experience that surpasses CD audio quality.
INDEPENDENT AMPLIFICATION CHIP WITH POWERFUL DRIVING FORCE FOR YOUR IEMS
The KZ AM01 boasts the inclusion of the MAX97220 independent amplifier chip, a component that dynamically accommodates loads of up to 600Ω, which is sufficient for driving most earphones available in the market. This feature ensures a cleaner and more potent audio output while keeping distortion to a minimum. The KZ AM01 maintains an overall maximum power consumption of 575mW/h, leading to minimal heat generation and a negligible impact on the battery life of your playback device. This amplification capability empowers your smartphones, providing them with a strong driving force that rivals that of digital audio players. What's even more impressive is that you get robust performance with low power consumption.
PLUG-AND-PLAY OPERABILITY WITH ZERO LATENCY AND COMPACT DESIGN
The KZ AM01 offers a plug-and-play experience, seamlessly connecting with a variety of Type-C devices, without requiring intricate setups. This ensures you can relish zero-latency, high-definition audio quality while indulging in music, streaming content, or watching short videos. When gaming, it delivers a lag-free experience with flawless audio-visual synchronisation. The all-in-one design boasts a sleek appearance and Kevlar-braided cables, making it easy to carry and highly durable.
NOTE: KZ AM01 only supports TYPE-C interfaces with OTG functionality.
