The new Hifiman SERENADE Dac Headphone Amplifier features the FET amplifier, with a discrete component LPF analog circuit that translates into detailed sound with high-precision, low-noise test indicators. The bold design of the entire signal path eliminates coupling capacitors, removing nonlinear distortion caused by electrolytic capacitors, leaving only pure, full range sonic output. The amp circuit is based on a Class A design, supplemented by a precisely matched, fully discrete transistor amplifier circuit
The new Serenade features Hifiman's Hymalaya Pro R2R DAC with the added support of a new FPGA algorithm and 0.01% precision resistors, provides performance that surpasses the PCM1704 in every way, reaching a THD rate of 0.0012% at -6 dB.
The Hymalaya architecture removes the switches while maintaining a similar or improved level of Total Harmonic Distortion as the PCM1704K DAC chip, with greater power handling, greater overall efficiency, and improved sonic performance. The 50w toroidal transformer, surrounded by oxygen-free copper wire, is comprised of high-quality full-band iron core, combined with a large pond filter capacitor of nearly 30,000 microfarads and a multi-stage, multi-channel, low-noise, high-speed voltage regulator circuit, providing a pure and fast power supply.
