It is small enough to carry, powerful enough to sit at the center of a desktop setup, and flexible enough to feed an external system when you want the music somewhere else in the room. Two decoding architectures, three analog timbres and a full set of gain and power options mean the sound is yours to shape rather than something you simply accept.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 16.0pt 0in 6.0pt 0in;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 13.0pt;\"\u003eThree Sources, One Lever\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 9.0pt; line-height: 125%;\"\u003eA single SOURCE lever moves Evo Era between CD, USB Audio and Bluetooth. There is no menu diving and no guessing which input is live. Flip the lever and the front display tells you exactly where you are.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 9.0pt; line-height: 125%;\"\u003eThe CD side runs a customized mechanism and servo system with full transport control, including track selection, playback modes, and both individual track time and total time on screen. USB Audio is handled by an XMOS XU316 module with selectable UAC 1.0 and UAC 2.0 operation, supporting PCM up to 768 kHz and DSD up to DSD512. Bluetooth 5.4 arrives by way of the Qualcomm QCC5181 flagship audio platform with Snapdragon Sound, covering aptX Adaptive, aptX Lossless, aptX HD, aptX, LDAC, AAC and SBC.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 16.0pt 0in 6.0pt 0in;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 13.0pt;\"\u003eTwo Decoding Architectures, Three Ways to Listen\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 9.0pt; line-height: 125%;\"\u003eEvo Era carries both a String R-2R decoder and a delta-sigma decoder, and lets you choose between them. The String R-2R section is built from 170 high-precision, low-temperature-coefficient resistors across four specifications, arranged as a true dual-channel decoder with fully independent power supplies for the left and right channels. The delta-sigma section uses two ES9069 DAC chips running in MONO mode for fully differential decoding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 9.0pt; line-height: 125%;\"\u003eThat gives you three selectable decoding modes: dual ES9069 delta-sigma, R-2R with oversampling, and R-2R without oversampling. The same album can be smooth and effortless, or raw and immediate, depending on which architecture you hand it to. A high-capacity 100K-LUT FPGA manages I2S signal processing and handles precision calibration of the R-2R section, which is the part that keeps a resistor ladder honest over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 16.0pt 0in 6.0pt 0in;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 13.0pt;\"\u003eAnalog Timbre and Amplification\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 9.0pt; line-height: 125%;\"\u003eThree analog timbre modes are carried over directly from Evo One. TR is a fully transistor-based path, clean and fast with excellent grip. VELVET is a hybrid mode with a warmer presentation and a richer midrange, and it suits vocals and small ensembles beautifully. LUMINA is also hybrid, but tuned for transparency, clarity and a more articulate presentation across a wider range of material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 9.0pt; line-height: 125%;\"\u003eOn top of the timbre choice sit three hardware gain settings (H, M and L), three power levels (TURBO, P+ and P), and switchable CLASS A or CLASS AB operation. Sensitive IEMs and demanding full-size headphones are both accounted for, and the combinations give you real room to tune the amplifier to the load and to your own taste.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 16.0pt 0in 6.0pt 0in;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 13.0pt;\"\u003eVolume Control That Feels Analog and Behaves Digitally\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 9.0pt; line-height: 125%;\"\u003eEvo Era pairs an ALPS potentiometer with an NJW1195A volume control IC. You get the tactile feel of a traditional analog knob, while an internal ADC reads its position and drives the NJW1195A electronically. The result is precise, repeatable volume adjustment with minimal channel imbalance at very low listening levels, which is exactly where most analog potentiometers start to fall apart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 16.0pt 0in 6.0pt 0in;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 13.0pt;\"\u003eCD Ripping to USB\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 9.0pt; line-height: 125%;\"\u003eWith CD selected and a compatible USB drive connected, Evo Era rips discs directly to the drive as lossless WAV files. Audio is read straight from the CD transport, and you can keep listening while the rip is in progress. Your physical collection moves to a file library, with no computer anywhere in the chain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 16.0pt 0in 6.0pt 0in;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 13.0pt;\"\u003eOutputs\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 9.0pt; line-height: 125%;\"\u003eHeadphone outputs are provided on 3.5 mm and 4.4 mm, with matching 3.5 mm and 4.4 mm line outputs for connecting to an external system. Digital output is available over coaxial or optical SPDIF with automatic output detection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 9.0pt; line-height: 125%;\"\u003eThe analog outputs use intelligent connection detection. Headphone output takes priority over line output, and when multiple connections are detected simultaneously, the most recently connected output takes precedence. Plug in and play, without reaching for a menu.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 16.0pt 0in 6.0pt 0in;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 13.0pt;\"\u003ePower and Battery\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 9.0pt; line-height: 125%;\"\u003eA 3.87 V, 10,000 mAh battery lets Evo Era run entirely off the grid. Expect roughly 9 hours in CD mode with the 4.4 mm output in hybrid timbre, and up to around 14 hours in CD mode with the 3.5 mm output in TR mode. Charging is handled over USB PD at 9 V and 2 A, taking approximately three and a half hours, or approximately five hours with a standard 5 V, 2 A supply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 9.0pt; line-height: 125%;\"\u003eConnect a PD-compliant adapter, then select DC INPUT mode from the menu. The adapter then powers Evo Era directly while simultaneously charging the battery, and DC TURBO mode engages automatically for maximum output. The menu also offers idle auto power off, and detection circuits at the analog outputs shut down unused analog sections based on what is actually connected, so battery life is not spent on stages you are not listening to.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 16.0pt 0in 6.0pt 0in;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 13.0pt;\"\u003eBuild and Finish\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 9.0pt; line-height: 125%;\"\u003eThe chassis is machined from 6063 aluminum, anodized, and given a No. 200 glass bead micro-sandblasted surface treatment, finished in silver white and gold. Function markings are deep-engraved and laser-etched rather than printed. Every unit carries a dedicated stainless steel plate on the rear panel with its own serial number.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 9.0pt; line-height: 125%;\"\u003eEvo Era measures 182 x 182 x 29 mm, with the height excluding the 2 mm feet and the selector knob, which protrudes a further 4 mm. Net weight is 1,025 g.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 16.0pt 0in 6.0pt 0in;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 13.0pt;\"\u003eDisplay, Controls and Firmware\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 9.0pt; line-height: 125%;\"\u003eThe front display carries the source, playback status, volume, menu settings, firmware upgrade progress and system notifications. Four physical buttons handle playback and menu navigation, while a POWER and HOLD lever manages screen-off, power, and the HOLD lock. Firmware for the MCU, FPGA and SERVO can all be updated from the menu using a USB drive, following the upgrade instructions supplied with each release.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MusicTeck","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52345871040802,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0888\/2348\/files\/2-2_176b2a68-2bd1-41ca-b039-70d39534ec12.jpg?v=1787240428","url":"https:\/\/shop.musicteck.com\/products\/evoaria-evo-era","provider":"MusicTeck","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
