<p>To have a set of PC hifi audio system with high-quality, small size and professional quality is the best choice for our work and entertainments!<br />
But how to find the satisfied system for our PC hifi?</p>
<p><span id="more-54"></span>High level speakers and an enough power amplifier with high quality, small size (easy to place) and high efficiency (besiders environmental protection and energy conservation, we must have to consider the efficiency) match well become the single choice for us! Where to find this kind of amplifier? AMPONE made by YULONG Audio is just the one based on these ideas!</p>
<p>The design target of sound for AMPONE is to achieve the desired effect with the matched speaker: sweet, smooth, slide,  fine! It can analyze the slightest details, give full play to the dynamics and the scene in great details!  Through YuLong Audio engineers designing meticulously and testing repeatedly in a variety of occasions ,it can achieve the desired effect completely!</p>
<p>The design target of practicality for YULONG Audio AMPONE is small size, high efficiency and enough power. At the same time, it must have a good voice. It looks as if it is not possible?  But YuLong Audio have completed through the ingenious design as follows: Fully use the aluminum chassis for heat elimination to satisfy the requirements that the power can be amplified with small size. Carefully adjust the simple and classic circuit composed of discrete components to achieve the sound performance effects. Both the amplify circuits and the part of circuits of small current  in the drive class operate in the best linear state of class A. The current consuming power tube operates in the class A and B with small current.Through good match between the former class and the back class,it can achieve a good voice and high efficiency!</p>
<p>YULONG AMPONE has the best protection circuit, each of the components used must be tested by QC before we begin to produce.In order to ensure the machine&#8217;s consistency and stability.,before the finished products are to be sold, we must have a series of performance testing strictly, voice testing, aging experiments and so on.</p>
<p>Under the well-known monitoring speakers, such as the drive Dynaudio BM5P Audience 42,52 and the ATC SCM7, AMPONE has a fairly good performance!</p>

		<description><![CDATA[The characteristic voice of DAH1 MARK II : The sound is strong and real, it can analyze the slightest details, give full play to the dynamics and the scene in great details. ]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_V13VgYIs6wM/SgG1lf9LXhI/AAAAAAAAAQ4/SBtxkVh-f-U/s720/DAH1_MARK_II_3.jpg" alt="" width="640" /></p>
<p>The characteristic voice of DAH1 MARK II : The sound is strong and real, it can analyze the slightest details, give full play to the dynamics and the scene in great details. The sound is fine,delicate,smooth,sweet and natural. The headphone output of the machine can drive the majority of traditional headphone directly to achieve better results. The impedance of the former output is also low, with a power amplifer, it can be more easily to drive the speakers.<span id="more-70"></span></p>
<p>The DAH1 MARK II is specially designed by YULONG Audio engineers. The concept is that you need not any sound resource,if you have a PC, you can connect the machine to drive the headphone, power amplifiers, or speakers directly to achieve the best sound. The users can save the cost of sound resources,interconnect cable,preamp and headphone.</p>
<p>The main chip of this DAC Amplifier is AD1955 in which we have many years of practical experience. AD1955 is widely known for its excellent sound performance and its performance indicators is the best now. The circuit structure we learn from is as follows: DA1955 audio decoder, DAH1 multifunction audio processor, DAH1 MARK multifunction audio processor and headphone drive circuit designed by YuLong Audio engineers meticulously. The working state is controlled by the CPU and displayed with the LCD. So it is easy to operate.The components we used are the best, such as the refined aluminum shell,gold-plated USB interface, RCA interface, headphone interface, dedicated audio OPA2134 and the import high-quality components with the fanciers class(different from the staking of DIYER, we have many years of design experience about these components). We use the advanced solid capacitor PAS and SEP which used in the high-end computer&#8217;s motherboard to supply.</p>
<p>DAH1mark II is an upgrade product based on the former two generations products.<br />
1,Use SMD components, the PCB redesigned completely takes the spider-type grounding wiring method, the signal to noise ratio is very high,left channel and right channel are completely symmetrical, the ground wire is separated, the channel can work independently, so that you can hear the analysis of very high intensity, quiet background, and good separation.</p>
<p>2,The drive circuit of headphone is also redesigned, it uses PHILIPS tubes to match with the sound parameters we adjusted carefully and the components we selected carefully. The sound effects is fine and tender,natural, without losing the dynamics and drive capability.</p>
<p>3,Fully use the import J SMD components in the produce and we achieve the better sound quality perfoumance(A package of an ordinary K SMD capacitance sales 30RMB, while the same quantity and same function package of the import K SMD capacitance sales 1000RMB).</p>
<p>4,We cancel the electronic volume control for it can make some small noise, now we replace it with the imported high-precision potentiometers.</p>
<p>5,We cancel the LINEOUT port and add the balance output version (optional).</p>
<p>6,We cancel the functions of preamplification and remote control,now we focus more on the sound effort.</p>
<p>7,We add the pure DAC mode so as to improve the quality of the machine.</p>
<p>Because DAH1 MARK II uses the high-performance solid-state capacitors, it doesn&#8217;t work its the best state until the power is on for some time.</p>
<p>The new machine may be a slight sense of roughness, please keep the power on for more than 200 hours to listen again.</p>
<p>Functional operation modes:<br />
1. DAC + headphone amplifier: Switch on the power, press MODE button from the front panel to select various input signal(SPDIF,Coaxial,USB), adjust the volume, plug in the headphone to PHONE and start to enjoy the music.</p>
<p>2. DAC: Switch on the power, press MODE button to select the input signal, adjust the volume to the left to the minimum to turn off the headphone amplifier,signal output from the R OUT L.</p>
<p>3. DAC + Pre amp : Switch on the power, press MODE button to select the input signal, signal out from the PHONE through 6.35-RCA port.</p>
<p>4.Balance Decoding mode: (Required to purchase,the standard version is RCA output)THE operation is the same as the RCA version, the output mode is the balance (XLR) port.</p>
<p>Notes:If the sound card is used as the diginal input or USB input,please adjust the volume and waveform to the medium in the PC, if you adjust to the maximum,the output distortion of the sound card is also the largest, it will affect the performance of the machine.</p>
<p>The DAH1 MARK II uses 220-240V AC voltage as the standard input voltage, if you want to use 100-120V AC voltage, please note us before you purchase it.</p>
<p>DAH1 MARK II Technical Specification:</p>
<ul>
<li>Standard input connector: SPDIF, Coaxial, USB, Analog Input (RCA).</li>
<li>Input Frequency: 44.1，48，96KHz/16/24Bit auto-recognized.</li>

<p>Play method we recommend:</p>
<p>1,The most cost-effective options: USB connect to the PC, headphone plug in the HEADPHONE port.</p>
<p>2,Give full play to the best performance of the machine: using the digital output of the high-end sound card or the dial as the coaxial input of the machine, and then connect the high-end headphone amplifiers or power amplifiers to dirive the speakers from the DAC output, at the same time you should ensure the power cord and signal lines must be more better.</p>

<p>The All-New Little Dot MK IV is our flagship headphone amplifier/pre-amplifier in the Little Dot MK-series.  Boasting a SEPP (OTL) in Class-A circuit design filled with high quality components such as an ALPS-27 potentiometer, Nichicon, Rubycon, and German WIMA/ERO capacitors, the Little Dot MK IV is truly our best effort yet.  Regardless of whether your headphones are 32 ohms or 600 ohms, the Little Dot MK IV can drive them easily with effortless dynamics (45Vp-p!) , subterranean bass, cavernous soundstage, and precise 3-D imaging.</p>
<p>The Little Dot MK IV also adds in user-tweaking options such as two gain switches to delivery maximum compatibility with all your headphones, regardless of impedance or sensitivity.  Also available for the very first time in a Little Dot amplifier, is an internal jumper to allow use with a wider range of driver tube-rolling, including the EF92, CV131,  WE403A/B, GE5654, M8100, CV4010, EF95, 6JI as well as all equivalents, derivatives, and direct replacements to these vacuum tubes!</p>

<p>* The MK series is the new generation of Little Dot amplifiers, and the MK III is the &#8220;sweet-spot&#8221; of the line. Superior performance with much higher stability and reliability, the MK series trumps our previous amplifiers in nearly every category!<span id="more-6"></span>* Vacuum tubes are subject to availability, so please inquire as to the current included &#8220;stock&#8221; vacuum tubes if in doubt. Little Dot reserves the right to substitute equivalent, equal-value tubes in the case &#8220;standard&#8221; tubes are not available.<br />

* 1 Year Warranty</p>
<p>The All-New Little Dot MK III succeeds our Little Dot II++ by improving upon it in every possible way. Boasting the highest stability and sound quality yet, the sound-stage realism and imaging precision have improved dramatically over our previous amplifiers, and even at high volumes the Little Dot MK III delivers a smooth, non-fatiguing sound with no hint of dynamic compression or imaging fuzz. Of course the liquid warm midrange tube lovers expect is here in spades, balancing right in with a dynamic low-end and a sweet, airy treble. Tracking precision with low distortion is provided by an ALPS-16 potentiometer, and Rubycon, German WIMA and ERO capacitors ensure the internal circuitry is built with quality in mind.</p>
<p>The Little Dot MK III also adds in user-tweaking options such as two gain switches to delivery maximum compatibility with all your headphones, regardless of impedance or sensitivity. Also available for the very first time in a Little Dot amplifier, is an internal jumper to allow use with a wider range of driver tube-rolling, including the EF92, CV131, WE403A/B, GE5654, M8100, CV4010, EF95, 6JI as well as all equivalents to these vacuum tubes!</p>

Schuko) you will need to provide you own power cord. You likely have several spares around your home, as any standard power cord (like your computer&#8217;s power cord) will work perfectly fine. We do apologize for any inconvenience!</p>

<p>The successor to the Little Dot MK I, the new Little Dot MK I+ takes advantage of American National Semiconductor’s newest offerings in ultra-low distortion circuit components: LME49710HA high fidelity operational amplifier and the LME49600 high performance current buffer.  <span id="more-38"></span>The new power supply consists of two 3.7V 700mA/h Lithium-Ion battery to provide up to 30 hours of high current, ultra-low distortion power to your headphones.  Circuit stability and reliability over the previous Little Dot MK I has been markedly improved as well.</p>
<p>* Excellent performance in a small, stylish package!<br />
* $169 USD plus shipping for Gold Version (Metal chassis, pre-amp stage op: LME49710HA x 2)<br />
* $139 USD plus shipping for Normal Version (Plastic housing, pre-amp stage op: LM4562)<br />
* $25 shipping to USA, Canada, Japan, and most of Oceania, and SE Asia (excluding India)<br />
* $29 shipping to most of Europe, Middle East, and South America<br />
* 1 Year Warranty</p>
<p>The Little Dot MK I+ also has exceptional compatibility with a wide variety of IEMs, earphones, and full-sized headphones due to its user-selectable three gain settings, as well as output current control via internal jumpers.  When jumper caps are set in place, output current increases by 80%, dramatically improving dynamics, impact, and low frequency response with the trade-off of lower battery life.</p>
<p>There are two version of the Little Dot MK I+: the Normal Version and the Gold Version.  The Normal version has a plastic housing and uses the LM4562 op-amp in the pre-amp section.  The Gold Version has a metal chassis and uses dual LME49710HA in the pre-amp section.</p>
