SounDroid VALOQ is a high quality and high end music player
by VentureCraft, that can provide a realistic sound close to the
original sound by converting the PCM audio source in various
formats to DSD128 or PCM maximum 384k/32 bits within the
player in real time, and supports DSD256 native playback and
playback of the PCM maximum 384k/32 bits.
It has realized an amazing cross talk, signal to noise ratio, and
expansion and low distortion of the dynamic range by adopting
the VERITA AK4137 by Asahi Kasei Microdevices for the real time
conversion SRC, which is the key function of this device, and
also by adopting VERITA AK4490, the flagship new generation
32 bit premium DAC by Asahi Kasei Microdevices, for the DAC.
The analog circuit of SounDroid VALOQ is full of passion that
cannot be found in the other portable players.
Overview of This Product
The analog circuit after the DAC is designed in full balance, us-
ing the VISHAY MELF for all the resistors in the signal circuit and
RUBYCON PML for the film capacity for filtering, realizing smooth
audio quality by reducing heat noise and senses of peak and
noise.
New Japan Radio MUSES8820D is equipped as standard for the
operational amplifier for LPF of DAC.
Also, the LPF operational amplifier for DAC is designed to be re-
placeable, so it is designed to set the operational amplifier that
the user prefers.
* Replacement is to be performed with the responsibility of the user.
A newly developed charge pump power supply is adopted for
the headphone amplifier power supply, driving at
±
7V.
It has realized high power and high audio quality, even though
it is a portable player, by adopting the Analog Devices AD8397
that secures sufficient drive voltage and can drive large load in
superior linearity to the headphone amplifier.
