The heart of the EarMen Colibri is the flagship of the ESS line ES9281 PRO DAC. The ESS SABRE PRO series is for the premium audiophiles and sets a new benchmark in high-end audio by offering the highest dynamic range (DNR) with impressively low levels of total harmonic distortion plus noise (THD+N). Colibri supports Hi-Res PCM files up to 32bit/384kHz PCM, DoP, DSD64, DSD128 and MQA. In short, all in one solution.
Colibri has its own battery and will not consume the sound source battery. Battery power provides ultra-clean and stable DC current avoiding the issues of noise-inducing RFI/EMI pollution.
Despite its size, the Colibri is designed to provide a powerful audio experience while featuring an attractive appearance. Buttons on the side will provide full control of the device and music, without using your source or phone.
The body of the device is made of full aluminium block milled on CNC machine, providing supreme durability. The aluminium body is beautified with both sides glass surface added, giving it a premium look.
