DEL Technology

The DEL (Dual-Engine Limiter) technology helps minimise distortion and, thanks to proprietary algorithms, enables access to audio effects such as Dynamic Range Compression, and Dynamic Range Enhancement. This technology also includes a precision PEQ to offer extensive customisation with 31 adjustable bands, each adjustable from +12 to -24 dB. This feature is perfect for audiophiles wanting to fine-tune their audio outputs to their precise preferences.

High-Quality DACs

The two ES9039SPro DAC chips feature the latest fourth generation Hyperstream architecture that can deliver PCM data up to 32-bit/768kHz and DSD up to DSD512. This setup separates audio channels to help maintain impeccable sound quality with ultra-low distortion and ultra-high dynamic range. These DACs are also capable of MQA rendering, allowing for stunning audio quality that matches a song’s studio master recordings.

Powerful Amplifier

Boasting an impressive power output of 8,000mW, the THX AAA 88+ amplifier chipset delivers an excellent sound through 4.4 and 6.5mm headphone outputs. Its fully balanced four-channel design maximises audio fidelity, reduces crosstalk between channels, and allows for great power efficiency. With these high-end audio features, the K19 provides immersive listening to both entry-level and high-end headphones.

High-Fidelity DSP Processing

The inclusion of an ADI ADSP-21565 DSP chip with SHARC+ core enhances the K19’s audio processing capabilities. It supports complex audio processing tasks while maintaining the integrity of high-resolution signals, ensuring efficient and high-fidelity sound reproduction. There are also two Ultra-Low Phase Noise Crystal Oscillators that enable exceptional signal reproduction.

Varied Connectivity

With broad input/output options, the K19 will act as the focal point of your audio system. The USB, RCA, optical, coaxial, and HDMI ARC connections will let you enjoy immersive headphone listening from your PC, games console, Blu-ray player, and more. The K19 even includes Bluetooth, so you can wirelessly stream your favourite music in AptX Adaptive and LDAC codecs.

Shock-Proof Design

The unibody diecast aluminium chassis offers great shock resistance and firm rigidity, enabling optimal stability on your desktop. Built for versatility, the K19 can be positioned both horizontally and vertically to suit the layout of your setup. The body is also carefully polished using a multi-axis CNC machining process, giving this unit a rich look.
