Premium Handheld Portable DAC – Battery Powered
The heart of the Colibri is the flagship of the ESS line ES9281 PRO DAC. The ESS SABRE PRO series sets a new benchmark in high-end audio by offering the highest dynamic range (DNR) with impressively low levels of total harmonic distortion plus noise (THD+N). Colibri supports Hi-Res PCM files up to 32bit/384kHz PCM, up to DSD128 (DoP) and DXD 384/352.5 kHz. Colibri includes MQA Renderer technology up to 384 kHz, which can connect to an MQA Core signal and complete the final unfold of an MQA file. Core decoding is included in streaming services such as TIDAL, as well as select media players.
Colibri has its own battery and will not consume the sound source battery. Battery power provides ultra-clean and stable DC current avoiding the issues of noise-inducing RFI/EMI pollution. The battery will last on a full charge up to 5 hours and can be charged with a separate USB-C input while listening to music.
