Here is what Lindemann say about Woodnote Combo All-In-One Music Player

A perfect blend of retro charm and cutting-edge technology. Experience captivating, completely immersive music playback that makes you forget about the technology behind it. With a quarter-century of experience in digital concepts, we present a product line that combines innovation with intuition. Developed by music lovers for music lovers, it merges proven concepts with the latest streaming technology and an app control that sets new standards.

Two-stage D/A converter design

Femto-clock-based FIFO re-sampling followed by Delta-Sigma conversion into a 1-bit signal. Potential sound distortions caused by „clock jitter” are eliminated at this stage. The 1-bit signal is then converted in the actual converter module, where the analog signal is output. The result is significantly reduced high-frequency noise and greatly improved high-frequency reproduction.

Audiophile-grade components and circuit design

Four-layer PCB with strict separation of digital and analog sections, fully balanced signal paths with the outstanding AK4493S DAC chip, and fully balanced filter output stages featuring the OPA1637.
