High-Resolution Audio

High-Resolution Audio takes your digital music to another level. By converting analogue music to digital at a higher rate than CDs – 24-bit/192kHz, as opposed to the 16-bit/44.1kHz rate of CDs – High-Resolution Audio is able to deliver better than CD quality sound, so you can get closer to the original studio recording.

DSEE technology

DSEE technology upgrades the quality of your compressed music files. When an original music source is compressed, you lose the high frequency elements of your music. DSEE restores this to produce high quality sound that’s closer to the original CD recording.

Compatible audio players

The USB DAC amplifier is compatible with all major audio players – including online streaming services such as Spotify and Deezer – so you won’t have to change the way you listen to your music collection to enjoy great, Hi-Res Audio. Alternatively, you can download the dedicated Hi-Res Audio Player PC app from Sony.

More ways to connect

With a variety of inputs and outputs – including USB, optical digital audio cable, coaxial digital and line in connections – you’ll be able to connect everything from smartphones and tablets to PCs and other audio components.
