The headphone amplifier chip in the Q1 Mark II is the very same utilized in the AM3A module, usually used with the X7 MARK II (OPA926). Finally, low-pass filter duties on the line-output are handled by the TI OPA1662 chip.
Native DSD Decoding
Equipped with the XMOS platform, the Q1 Mark II can support decoding of 384 kHz / 32-bit PCM. It can also support DSD256 (a green light will turn on when DSD is in use). two separate crystal oscillators, each designed to handle different sample rates, help to achieve the utmost accuracy in digital-to-analog conversion.
