At its core is an eight-chip parallel DAC architecture featuring eight Cirrus Logic CS43198 DACs in a true dual-mono configuration (four per channel) with dedicated custom shielding covers for thermal balance and RF isolation. Driven by a custom Digital Audio Core operating on a dual-core HiFi-5 DSP and ARM STAR architecture, the X8 delivers advanced real-time digital signal processing, hardware-level EQ calibration, and edge-level AI audio execution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt with an upgraded amplifier stage utilizing multiple OPA1612 op-amps and TPA6120A2 high-current drivers, the X8 delivers a formidable output power (L+R ≥ 4800 mV + 4800 mV) through 6.35mm, 4.4mm, and XLR4 outputs. It introduces Luxsin's proprietary Full-Interface Impedance Detection, automatically tailoring gain settings without affecting the main audio signal path. The unit features a CNC-machined aluminum chassis angled at 15°, a 4.0-inch 1080P color touchscreen, and a fully separated linear power supply with user-adjustable dual analog rail voltages (12V\/15V).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKEY FEATURES \u0026amp;
