Dual ES9039PRO DAC for ultimate audio quality

• The element X2 Pure features two flagship ESS chips working in mono mode. Each chip utilizes eight D/A conversion units in parallel, significantly improving dynamic range and reducing audio distortion while ensuring complete channel separation. The result? Precise sound reproduction and an outstanding listening experience.

Symmetrical design for accurate sound

• The analog circuits of the left and right channels boast the same layout and components, designed symmetrically for a visually pleasing and meticulous design. The analog circuit is covered by a CNC aluminum shield, ensuring effective heat dissipation for op-amps and interference isolation.

Complete control with the MA Remote App

• Effortlessly manage your music and settings through the MA Remote App on your iPhone, iPad, or Android device. Access various streaming services, local file playback options, and even internet radio stations from around the world without requiring a login or payment.

Versatile connectivity options

• Seamlessly integrate the element X2 Pure into your audio setup with digital and analog inputs, HDMI ARC support, a built-in pre-amplifier, and Wi-Fi connectivity. This streamer is designed to enhance the sound performance of your existing audio system, regardless of the source.

Noise reduction for a crystal-clear sound stage

• Innovative CBVB pads, made of ceramic balls and silicone rubber, minimize noise caused by mechanical vibrations. This results in improved sound transparency and a wide, clear sound stage for an exceptional listening experience.

Async and Sync modes for precise timing

• The element X2 Pure offers both Async and Sync modes, allowing users to choose the best timing solution for their needs. In Async mode, the two D/A chips rely on the Crystek CCHD950 femtosecond clock as the master clock, resulting in lower phase noise. In Sync mode, the built-in femtosecond clock is turned off, allowing the D/A chips to rely on the front-end device's clock for a more synchronized experience.

High-quality pre-amplifier and seamless pairing

• The element X2 Pure features a superb built-in pre-amplifier with +10dB analog gain. When enabled, it can output high-quality audio signals up to 15.8VRMS. Combined with Hyper-Control technology, the output range maintains ultra-low noise and distortion. Paired with the brand-new audio power amplifier element P2, there's no need for a standalone pre-amp, providing abundant power to various speakers and ensuring a visually and audibly satisfying experience.

Ceramic Ball Vibration Buffer for enhanced sound clarity

• As the first product to feature CBVB pads, the element X2 Pure benefits from minimized noise caused by mechanical vibrations. With six ceramic balls in each pad, the CBVB pads enhance sound transparency, creating a wide and clear sound stage for an immersive listening experience.
