Under the hood, MUSE HiFi has equipped the MUSE 300 with a truly balanced desktop DAC and amplifier architecture to offer a true flagship audio experience. It utilizes an advanced ES9039 Ultra flagship DAC chipset featuring fourth-generation HyperStream® IV architecture, paired with high-performance OPA1612x2 LPF and dual TP6120AX2 amplifier modules.

From initial decoding to the final strong driving force, all internal audio processing is handled via fully differential signal processing. This specific architecture achieves a massive power output, pumping out up to 2200mW of incredibly clean thrust via its 4.4mm balanced output, while keeping crosstalk and distortion extremely low (0.0006% THD+N). A three-level gain mode allows users to perfectly match everything from highly sensitive IEMs to the most demanding full-sized headphones on the Muse 300.

Beyond its stunning software and strong hardware foundation, the MUSE 300 maintains stable and incredibly clean operation through hardware-level audio tweaking and premium power delivery. It features three built-in, zero-latency sound styles implemented via lossless analog circuit switching to preserve absolute dynamics without any digital artifacts:

• Balanced: Delivers a reference-grade natural sound with punchy bass and crisp instruments.
• Tube Amplifier: Utilizes advanced tuning functions to replicate a lush tube flavor with rich, dynamic mid-bass, dense vocals, and a smooth overall presentation.
• ACG: Tuned specifically for Pop fans, promising an energetic, lively sound with a nice punch to the vocals and instruments.
