Look! An ESS Sabre DAC 9281c Pro!

Number soup rarely sounds this good.

It supports PCM up to 384 kHz, DSD up to 5.6MHz, and MQA support. Keeping the Pilot with you gives you a key to unlock high-resolution in whatever device may be near.

One fun aspect of Pilot is how easily it can fit into your EDC.  Add it to your portable kit and you’ve got a whole new host of hi-fi experiences open to you.  Designed to work without cumbersome plug-ins, it makes portable hi-fi easy and that’s something anyone can appreciate.
