MQA decoder for master quality streaming
In order to achieve an Analog waveform closer to the original signal, the NT-505 supports MQA decoding while also
supporting high sampling rate Hi-Res formats like DSD512 and PCM32/768. The MQA decoder is a totally new technology
that controls Analog waveforms with excellent precision (as fine as 5 microseconds) and it reproduces sound in a manner
that is perceived to be as close as possible to the original (to human hearing). Furthermore, a high-efficiency compression
algorithm makes huge Hi-Res audio files compact in size, so you will be able to enjoy Hi-Res audio sources regardless of
the speed of your Internet connection. * MQA Ready is scheduled to be deployed in the near future.
High-quality wireless audio streaming via Bluetooth
®
In addition to conventional SBC and AAC codecs, the NT-505 also supports LDAC™ (24/96 Hi-Res audio transmission),
and Qualcomm
®
aptX™ HD, a codec that uses 24/48 format transmission. These allow you to playback playlists on your
smartphone and tablet wirelessly.
Dual onboard clocks for 44.1k and 48kHz, and an external clock input
Instead of referencing to an unstable and noisy PC clock during USB audio playback, a more accurate and on-board clock
is generated by a high-precision, low phase-noise, audio-grade crystal oscillator for USB asynchronous transfer mode.
