Ideon Audio IΩN DAC 

 

Breakthrough technology from the Absolute Series: re-discover your music

The Ideon Audio IΩN (ION) DAC with optional analog preamplifier utilizes trickle-down technologies and R&D gained from our extensive work with our flagship Absolute Epsilon DAC. Most of the Epsilon DAC’s innovations and designs are found in the IΩN in its own scale.

As with all Ideon offerings, the IΩN DAC is a fully proprietary design, with audio technologies developed in-house. A bespoke handcrafted product housing an innovative combination of high-performance design features and best-of-breed quality components.

 

HyperStream, 8-channels architecture with proprietary, cutting-edge analog stage

  • New audio USB codec: ESS ES9080APRO (also in the Absolute ε DAC) used in our USB input module
  • Upgradable DAC and USB input engine
  • The IΩN is also offered with an optional analog pre-amplifier integrated with the DAC, under the name IΩN+
  • High output impedance at -120 dB SNR, quad current output from DAC
  • Cutting edge analog stage, with symmetrical ultra-low noise power supply – in a unique topology
  • Ultra low-noise power through, more than 10 different separate power regulators in the circuit.
  • Direct coupled output with no capacitors in the output stage.
  • In-House fully balanced design throughout
  • The sonic result re-defines digital audio playback potential, bringing you directly to the heart of music with a breath-taking sense of naturalness and presence

 

Proprietary Triple Distillation USB input: Noise Elimination

Conceived and designed in-house, the Ideon Audio Triple Distillation USB input comprises a proprietary three-stage noise eradication circuit that eliminates digital noise from the input signal. Our experience from the making of the Absolute Espislon DAC has been now transferred to the IΩN as well. Figuratively speaking, we have declared war on linear & non-linear distortion and noise!

 

Clock Oscillators: Getting the Music in Phase

The IΩN, like the flagship Absolute epsilon DAC, uses three top-of-the-line femto ultra-low jitter and ultra-low phase noise clocks in a no-compromise architecture; precision and resulting phase fidelity of the signal is ensured. Each clock has its own dedicated power line.

MSRP: $23,000 / $25,000 with optional PreAmp
