The next generation ESS flagship is here. Providing both incredible specs and features, the ES9039MSPRO boasts a built-in MQA renderer, 32-bit/768kHZ PCM decoding, and 133dB dynamic range.With multiple low-noise regulated power supplies, the D400ES provides a stable, reliable, and low-noise system that contributes to the DAC’s incredible 0.00005% THD+N.

The D400ES provides full MQA decoding, fully expanding the sound file to provide the best sound quality. At this level, you’ll hear the original sound created by the artist in the recording studio.
