High-Resolution Bluetooth & USB DAC/AMP Decoder:-

Audirect Beam 3 Plus can serve as both Bluetooth or USB high-resolution DAC/AMP device. There’s a switch at the top of the Beam 3 to choose between both modes. Usually, Bluetooth DAC/AMPs provide basic audio signal decoding up to 24kHz/48kHz bitrate, but the Beam 3 Plus provides high-resolution audio signal decoding with up to 32-Bit/768kHz bitrate. For DSD the Beam 3 Plus supports up to DSD512 natively.

High-Resolution Bluetooth Connectivity:-

Audirect has equipped the Beam 3 Plus with Qualcomm’s high-quality CSR8675 Bluetooth chip that provides a strong, stable Bluetooth connection with high-resolution streaming support. It supports LDAC/AptXHD/AptX/SBC/AAC high-resolution wireless codec for high-quality streaming.

Full MQA Decoding:-

Along with high-resolution PCM and DSD decoding, the latest Audirect Beam 3 Plus is capable of MQA decoding.
