Bluetooth but not as you know it....
For the xCAN and xDSD, we developed a unique solution where the SOC handles only reception, ensuring no conversion or amplification. It supports aptX and AAC codecs for top audio quality with iDevices (AAC), Android devices, laptops, and more (aptX).
The SOC signal, rife with jitter, is sent to an ESS Sabre Hyperstream DAC with Time Domain Jitter Elimination and a discrete oscillator to remove jitter before analogue conversion. This ensures exceptional Bluetooth performance.
