Transition to "made-to-order model" from December 2019
This product was sold as a special limited edition model, but in response to numerous requests for resale, it will be re-released as a "made-to-order model" from December 2019.
Please note that some parts will be changed due to the change in lot, but there will be no change in performance or sound quality.
A major renewal to the new lot will begin on sale on October 4, 2022
The board circuit has been redesigned, and the USB receiver IC has been changed from "VT1728A" to the new generation IC BRAVO "SA9023".
The basic performance has been improved by changing to a new and well-established IC with a new design and by updating the circuit.
・Changed to new generation IC "SA9023"
・Renewed main board
FX-AUDIO- FX-04J+ OPA627 x 3 NFJ Edition
This product is a small D/A converter with USB connection and bus power that supports high-resolution sound sources (24bit/96kHz) and uses VIA's VT1728A as the digital audio control IC and ESS Technology's ES9018K2M as the DAC IC.
Based on the popular "FX-04J" with its high sound quality and affordable price, the op-amps have been thoroughly reviewed to achieve ideal operation, and the sound quality has been further improved by reselecting the op-amps used.
This special limited edition model uses three main op-amps, the TL072, used in the base model FX-04J+, two in the LPF circuit section and one in the differential-single-ended conversion section, all replaced with Burr-Brown OPA627AU (2-circuit DIP version), bringing out the full potential of the ES9018K2M DAC.
The sound quality exceeds the standards of USB bus-powered operation, providing a sense of realism as if the music was being played right in front of you, and the ease of portability. [Product Specifications]
