JCAT unveils the USB Card XE EVO, which they describe as the next generation in USB audio performance.
JCAT announces the USB Card XE EVO, an improved version of the already acclaimed USB Card XE. According to the manufacturer, this new model includes significant enhancements and innovations that “set a new standard for USB audio performance.”
Built on Quality
The USB Card XE EVO is designed for audiophiles and professionals who want to achieve the highest possible sound quality. With meticulous attention to detail and advanced technology, the XE EVO offers several key improvements over its predecessor, according to JCAT.
Key Improvements
Here are the main innovations, in the words of the manufacturer:
- SMA Connector for Master OCXO Clock: The addition of an SMA connector allows seamless integration with JCAT’s Master OCXO clock. A switch lets users toggle between the built-in OCXO and an external clock source, providing greater flexibility and precision.
- State-of-the-Art Linear Voltage Regulators: The XE EVO features new linear voltage regulators that deliver an ultra-low noise level of 0.46 µV RMS, nearly half the noise level of the LT3045 regulators used in the USB Card XE. This ensures exceptionally clean power for connected USB devices.
- Built-In EMI Noise Filter: An advanced EMI noise filter is integrated into the USB port, significantly reducing electromagnetic interference. This results in clearer, more accurate audio signals and an overall improved listening experience.
- Optimized Firmware for Superior Sound Quality: The latest firmware is specifically optimized for superior sound quality, with power management features disabled to maximize audio performance.
- The USB Card XE EVO is available immediately on the JCAT website. Customers benefit from free shipping, and the price is €1200.
