All in One DAC Amplifier
Bring Every Era of Music to Life
DUAL DAC ARCHITECTURE
Two DAC Architectures
Your Choice of Sound
Evo Era brings together two independent digital decoding systems: Delta-Sigma
and discrete String R-2R. Choose the architecture that best suits your music and listening preferences.
DUAL ES9069Q
Dual ES9069Q DACs
Two ES9069Q DACs operate in mono mode within a fully differential architecture, delivering wide dynamic range, fine detail and precise digital-to-analog conversion.
TRIPLE ANALOG ARCHITECTURE
Three Sound Signatures
Your Choice
Evo Era brings the analog architecture of the Evo One flagship player to an All-in-one DAC and Headphone Amplifier.
Choose between two hybrid tube timbres—Velvet and Lumina—and a Fully Transistor signal path,
each offering a distinct sonic character.
Hybrid Tube Architecture Tube Preamp + Solid-state Output Stage
Built around a pair of KORG Nutube 6P1 tubes, the circuit combines a buffer stage, a tube voltage-gain stage, and a buffer driver stage to deliver refined, expressive performance. An independent JFET constant-current source circuit in the source load enhances drive capability and control, bringing together tube warmth and solid-state precision. With two selectable sound signatures — Velvet and Lumina — listeners can tailor the presentation to suit their preference.
Velvet
Warm, harmonically rich sound with
pronounced even-order harmonics, ideal for vocals and relaxed,
expressive listening.
Lumina
A clear, transparent presentation with
strong definition and evenly balanced harmonics,
well suited to a wide range of musical styles.
Fully Transistor Architecture
In FULLY TR mode, the signal path is driven entirely by a fully discrete transistor amplification circuit, bypassing the Nutube stage to deliver exceptional clarity, speed, and control.
Ideal for large-scale works such as
classical symphonies and cinematic soundtracks.

MATERIALS AND CRAFTSMANSHIP
Precision You
Can See and Feel
CNC-machined from 6063 aluminum alloy, Evo Era’s chassis combines structural strength with a refined tactile finish. A 200-grit glass-bead blasting process creates a fine matte texture, while the slim 29 mm profile completes its elegant form.
TRANSPORTABLE HI-FI

Maximum Battery Life
hours3.5hours
Full Charge via USB PD
During CD playback, battery life reaches up to 14 hours through the 3.5 mm headphone output in TR mode, or approximately 9 hours through the 4.4 mm balanced headphone output in a hybrid tube mode. Actual battery life varies with headphone load, volume and operating mode.
LEATHER CARRY CASE INCLUDED
Take Your Music with You
A dedicated leather carry case is included as standard. Designed to fit Evo Era, it helps protect the chassis from everyday scratches and minor knocks, while the shoulder strap makes it easy to carry. The display, playback buttons and volume knob remain accessible with the case fitted, so you can check playback information and operate key controls without removing it.
