AUDIOLAB EXPERTISE

Mission has leveraged the audio expertise of its sister company Audiolab, manufacturer of numerous award-winning DACs and amplifier components, to create the LX CONNECT DAC interface. It includes a high-performance DAC stage based on the ES9018K2M chip from the Sabre32 Reference family, utilizing ESS technology for exceptionally low noise and high dynamic range.

HEADPHONE AMP

The LX CONNECT DAC supports hi-res PCM files up to 32-bit/384kHz via USB and 24-bit/192kHz through the optical and coaxial inputs. DSD support (up to DSD256) is also available via USB. It features RCA-stereo output with fixed and adjustable output options, powered by a quality analog stage.

Additionally, a high-quality headphone amplifier, again derived from Audiolab, is included, ensuring dynamic and detailed performance with various types of headphones.

ROON TESTED

The Roon platform has become the standard for managing and streaming high-quality digital music. The LX CONNECT DAC has been officially rated as ‘Roon Tested’, meaning it has undergone rigorous testing by Roon and has been certified for use in a Roon audio environment.
