Like every Soulnote component, it's a perfectly balanced, discrete, completely non-NFB D\/A converter — engineered by ear, not for the measurement bench. A dual ES9038PRO configuration runs one chip per channel in monaural mode, unlocking a huge 140dB dynamic range and the vivid, spacious, utterly natural sound that defines the brand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTwin ES9038PRO, Run in Mono\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsing a full ES9038PRO DAC for each channel — rather than sharing a single chip across both — dramatically improves separation and lowers noise, giving the D-1N ver.2 its expansive, precisely focused soundstage. Ultra-low-jitter crystal oscillators with phase jitter under 1 picosecond clock the conversion, while a two-dimensional passive analog filter and a selectable NOS (non-oversampling) mode let you voice the presentation to your taste and your recordings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eEngineered Without Compromise\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBehind the front panel sits a 260VA large-scale toroidal transformer feeding eight independent power supplies with discrete regulators — an unusually lavish arrangement for the money. High-resolution files are handled effortlessly: PCM to 32-bit\/768kHz and DSD to 22.6MHz (DSD512) over USB, using Soulnote's Bulk Pet transfer method, plus coaxial and AES\/EBU inputs with four-stage lock-range switching.
