Separate Design for Analogue Small Signal
LX901
LX801
Dedicated ICs are lavishly used on the circuit in pursuit of ideal
sound. The Op-amp IC for processing small signal is set apart
from the amplifying section to prevent mutual interference. This
allows clear signal to be transmitted to the Direct Power FET.
Additionally, the Rubycon chip film capacitor MU 25p further
reduces the influence of residue noise from the high power
section.

Ultra DAC (ES9016S) is adopted
to deliver exceptional sound, with ultra-low
distortion and high signal-to-noise ratio. It offers jitter-free
performance for an astounding audio reproduction with rich deep
bass, bringing out the full potentials of Pioneer’s Direct Energy HD
amplifiers.
768 kHz/32-bit AKM DAC (AK4458)
LX502
The AV receiver features AK4458, a 768 kHz/32-bit premium audio
DAC from AKM (Asahi Kasei Microdevices Corporation). With the
latest low-distortion technology, the DAC provides detailed and
clear sound, ideal for Hi-Res Audio playback. The 32-bit digital
filter creates natural and detailed sound.
