Zidoo NEO Alpha Hi-Fi Media Player
Powerful Processor and Large Storage
The RTD1619DR hexa-core 64-bit A55 processor and 64 bit bandwidth with larger processing capability have provided stable and efficient computing for the system. 4GB DDR4 RAM and 32GB eMMC storage will greatly meet any entertainment demands.
512GB Internal SSD
The NEO α(Alpha) is equipped with a 512GB SSD for local music playback. High-quality digital music files can be easily stored and with data rates that are stable and fast. The SSD avoids typical heating and noise issues which can come from traditional mechanical hard disk drives.
ESS9038Pro DAC
The NEO α(Alpha) is equipped with an ESS9038 Pro DAC chip at it's core for audio decoding. It's -122db THD N and 140db dynamic range are benchmark indicators among the industry. With support for up to DSD512 and PCM768@32bit audio streams, both performance and sound quality will meet the high demands of audiophiles.
XMOS Audio Processor
The Octa-core XMOS X216 audio processor can provide excellent digital audio processing with high-definition decoding, low latency, low jitter, and high flexibility. It also supports asynchronous transmission, PCM 768KHz, DSD512 and 8x MQA decoding.
Multichannel DSD Processing Technology
Equipped with a tailored multichannel DSD processing chip and clock reconstruction technology just for playing multichannel master recorded music. Both multichannel DTS and DSD are supported. This system is among the first in the industry to achieve DSD Native 5.1 lossless audio output from an HDMI DSD port.
Dual Power Supplies
Separate digital and analogue power supplies are employed to eliminate interference and improve the sound purity system-wide. A linear power supply design is used for analog audio circuits which is composed of multi-winding large toroidal transformers. While a switching power supply is used for digital circuits with lower ripple and magnetic leakage interference.
Double HDMI for Audio and Video Separation
The NEO α(Alpha) features 2 HDMI output ports. The first is an HDMI 2.0a main output which can output audio and video signals to a 4K TV, projectors or AV receiver. The second HDMI port (Audio/DSD) is designed to output audio signals only. It is not only compatible with HDMI 1.4 AV receivers but also can output DSD Native 5.1 audio streams with independent high-precision clocks and thus better audio and video performance.
Dual High-precision Clocks
There are 2 ultra-low noise femtosecond high-precision clocks used in the audio decoding circuit (45.1584MHz and 49.152MHz), which correspond to 44.1KHz and 48KHz multiplied sampling frequencies. Jitter has been effectively suppressed. It ensures high-precision digital/analogue conversion, with ultra-high integrity and resolution for analogue audio output and reproduces the natural sound details in the audio source.
Multiple Digital Inputs
Multiple ports like USB DAC, Optical and Coaxial can be connected with various devices (computers, mobile phones, streaming devices, set-top box, CD players ) to convert digital signals to analogue signals by the ESS9038pro DAC. No matter which way you use the NEO α(Alpha) to play music, you will enjoy superb sound quality every time.
Headphone Amp Output
The built-in 6.35mm headphone jack brings great convenience for headphone enthusiasts. The amp circuit adopts a low ripple power supply, multi-level signal buffering, voltage and current staged amplifying processing, so that it has low noise, high current and maximum impact. Two gain modes are available to adapt to different headphone types in the 16~300 ohm impedance range.
Balanced Circuit and Professional Preamp
As an all-in-one preamp, the volume can be adjusted easily by the large volume knob, and it can connect with a power amplifier or active monitor speakers. Both XLR and RCA signals are processed by balanced circuit with good noise immunity. Multi-stage operational amplifier buffering and amplification, unique low-distortion filter design and independent signal loop have greatly improve channel separation, maximize the dynamic range and sound integrity.
Featured Audio Components
In order to achieve high level audio quality, both circuit design and materials are carefully chosen and deployed, such as immersion gold PCB and anti-interference wiring. Audio components like 6pcs of operational amplifier, OMRON relay, WIMA and ELNA resistors are carefully chosen for pleasing sound experience.
Master Recording Music Playback
