I’ve gathered a few facts about the upcoming Zidoo Neo X flagship posted on the FCC Website.
NEO X is an all-in-one device integrating 4K UHD media player, music streaming media player, audio and video media center, high-fidelity headphone amplifier, music decoder and Bluetooth decoder.
As a 4K UHD media player, it can decode and output advanced 4K 12Bit HDR10+/Dolby vision.
NEO X supports playing music from a variety of input sources, such as hard disk, computer and NAS server. Not only supporting almost all high-sampling master-tape music files such as MQA, SACD ISO, DFF, DSF, FLAC, WAV, APE etc., but also supporting managing local music resources and music streaming. Live streaming media app and DLNA streaming all can get good audio quality.
NEO X adopts ESS9038Pro DAC chip for audio decoding and supports lossless Bluetooth, Coaxial, AES/EBU and asynchronous USB audio input, which can be used as an independent high-fidelity audio decoder. XLR balance, RCA stereo preamplifier output and high-performance headphone amplifier output are supported. No matter for local file playback or external audio input, excellent audio index can be obtained with the decoding processing of DAC, fully balanced operational amplifier circuit and audio components. It can parse lossless master-tape format files up to 22.5792 MHz DSD files (DSD512 Native mode), 768 kHz 32-bit PCM.
NEO X can be controlled easily by cell phone with exclusive Zidoo Controller APP. The large 5-inch OLED HD screen can intuitively display general settings menu, music library data, playback status and input source sampling rate etc. Touch screen, physical volume and multifunctional control knobs are very convenient to operate.
NEO X helps us solving devices connecting and matching problems, which is easy to use and pursuing for excellent performance.
