EarMen Tradutto Review — Headfonics
Built-in Qualcomm HD Bluetooth 5.1 (AAC/SBC/aptX/aptx LL/aptx HD )
Supports MQA: OFS (MQB/MQA Core, decoded file), MQA (MQA file that is hardware decoded in our device and then rendered), MQA Studio (same as MQA, only with the consent of an author or production company )
XMOS 16-core chip (XU216) - with its excellent performance has given us hardware decoding MQA, as well as other necessary functions for listening to music (delivers twice the clock rate (2000MIPS) and four times more memory (512KB).
TRADUTTO is fully balanced, which means that the balanced outputs of the DAC go to the output intact, just amplified.
All sources
With TRADUTTO you can enjoy music from any source, e.g. B. from coaxial, USB, TOS-Link or HD Bluetooth connections. No matter where the songs come from, TRADUTTO stays true to the character of each instrument, revealing a musicality you've never heard before. It offers a variety of options and choices that you can adjust to suit your own sensibilities.
Outstanding audio performance
The heart of Tradutoo is the extremely high-quality ESS Saber digital-to-analog converter ES9038K2M, which delivers outstanding sound performance and can process digital audio files up to 32bit/768kHz or DSD512, so that you can enjoy high-resolution music in all details. EarMen Tradutto is designed for true audiophiles.
Studio quality MQA audio
MQA support: OFS" confirms that the product is receiving an MQA stream or file. This provides the final deconvolution of the MQA file and displays the original sample rate.
MQA" or "MQA Studio" indicates that the device is decoding and playing an MQA stream or file and indicates the provenance to ensure that the sound is identical to that of the source material.
MQA Studio " indicates it is playing an MQA Studio file, either approved in the studio by the artist/producer or verified by the copyright holder.
MQA (Master Quality Authenticated) is an award-winning British technology that enhances the sound of the original master recording. The MQA master file is fully authenticated and small enough to stream or download. Visit mqa.co.uk for more information.
Qualcomm QCC5124 flagship chip
The BlueTooth QCC5124 is a part of the QCC5100 Low Power Bluetooth Audio SoC series.It was designed to meet the demand for robust, high-quality Bluetooth wireless listening experiences in small, low-power devices for longer audio playbackQualcomm® aptX™ Audio, aptX HD and Qualcomm aptX Adaptive Audio technologies are designed to deliver consistent, high-quality Deliver streaming audio over Bluetooth.
Exceptional workmanship
Tradutto is made from a full-block aluminum body, making it extremely durable and robust. Its compact design fits into any environment, system and home. The circuit board is embedded in a solid aluminum housing, which means that the circuit board is better protected inside the housing and is also insulated against external influences.
The finest DAC circuit
We used XMOS with 16 cores (XU216), which with its excellent performance enables MQA hardware decoding and other functions necessary for music enjoyment.
The clock is carefully adjusted and has minimal jitter . The digital and analogue part of the circuit is also carefully separated by the power supply.
We used Wima capacitors to achieve the lowest total harmonic distortion and audio electrolytes in combination with low-noise MELF resistors and SoundPlus OPA1642 -Opamps that have proven to be excellent for achieving a neutral sound.
