And natively supports up to 32Bit/768kHz, DSD512 ultra-high decoding standard. Moreover, AKM4493SEQ and Snapdragon processor at the same time Provides V6 with the ability to achieve MQA 16X full decoding.

FFPGA and digital clock circuit

Professional FPGA digital technology, matched with custom-made dual crystal oscillator system with high precision and low phase noise, provides an ultra-high-quality digital source for V6’s audio processing system.

Long battery life

The battery capacity of the V6 is 4500mAh. Over 12 hours of continuous playback in high gain mode. Let you enjoy music to the fullest.

QC 3.0 charging

Bluetooth HD transmission protocols including LDAC, UAT,  AAC, APTXHD, APTX, providing high-quality and lossless music enjoyment experience.

USB DAC

V6 provides a variety of ways to use, one of which is USB DAC. By connecting to other audio source devices like PC through a USB cable, it will work in the role of a USB decoder.USB output

V6 acts as an audio source while connected to other USB DAC or USB dongle. For example, by plugging TempoTec Sonata HD V which has 2*ES9219 into V6, you can get quite a different sound style from V6 itself.

Coaxial output

The USB port of V6 is also a Coaxial output port. By connecting V6 to different external DAC which has Coaxial input port, you may be able to get different sound. In this case, the V6 acts as a pure digital audio source.
