The SABAJ Da3 is a compact and powerful Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) and headphone amplifier. It features a fully balanced design utilizing dual ESS SABRE9018Q2C decoding chips, an XMOS USB audio solution for high-resolution audio playback, and an OLED display for easy operation. It supports both 3.5mm unbalanced and 2.5mm balanced headphone outputs.

3. 主な特徴

  • Dual SABRE9018Q2C DAC Chips: Fully balanced design with two high-performance ESS SABRE9018Q2C decoding chips for superior audio quality, high dynamic range, and ultra-low distortion.
  • Advanced USB Audio Solution: Utilizes the second-generation XMOS USB audio solution (XCore200XU208), supporting PCM up to 32-bit/768kHz and native DSD512.
  • Asynchronous Clock System: Features two ultra-low phase noise crystal oscillators for precise timing, resulting in more accurate sound reproduction and higher resolution.
  • Independent Power Supplies: Two ultra-low noise LDO power supplies independently power the left and right amplifier channels, ensuring stable voltage and a purer sound free from interference.
  • OLEDディスプレイ: A 0.96-inch OLED screen provides clear information and a simple, intuitive user interface.

5. セットアップ

5.1 ソースデバイスへの接続

  1. Connect the SABAJ Da3 to your computer (PC/Mac) or compatible smartphone/tablet using the provided USB-C to USB-A cable. The Da3 draws power directly from the USB source.
  2. For optimal performance on Windows systems, you may need to install a specific driver for the XMOS USB audio solution. This driver can typically be found on the SABAJ official website. Mac and Linux systems are generally plug-and-play.

5.2 ヘッドフォンの接続

The SABAJ Da3 offers two headphone output options:

  • 3.5mmアンバランス出力: For standard headphones with a 3.5mm stereo jack.
  • 2.5mmバランス出力: For headphones equipped with a 2.5mm TRRS balanced cable. This output can provide more power and better channel separation for compatible headphones.

Insert your headphone connector firmly into the desired output jack on the Da3 unit.

6. 操作手順

6.1 電源オン/オフ

The Da3 powers on automatically when connected to a powered USB source. Disconnect the USB cable to power off the device.

6.2 OLEDディスプレイ

The 0.96-inch OLED display shows important information such as:

  • Current audio format (e.g., PCM, DSD)
  • Sampling rate (e.g., 44.1kHz, 192kHz, DSD256)
  • 音量レベル
  • Selected output mode (3.5mm or 2.5mm)

6.3 ボリュームコントロール

Use the '+' and '-' buttons on the front panel to adjust the volume. The volume level will be displayed on the OLED screen.

6.4 Audio Modes / Filters

The Da3 may offer different audio filter modes to subtly alter the sound characteristics. Refer to the device's on-screen menu (accessed via the central button, if available) to cycle through these modes and select your preferred sound profile. The device typically remembers your last selected settings.

6.5 出力選択

The Da3 automatically detects which headphone output (3.5mm or 2.5mm) is in use. Ensure your headphones are connected to the correct jack for your cable type.

7. メンテナンス

  • クリーニング: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior of the Da3. Avoid using liquid cleaners or solvents.
