- -CHF9.00

The EF500 stands upright and also works as a headphone stand, freeing up desk space. A large front knob sets the volume. Four gain settings combine high or low gain, with or without oversampling.
Conversion relies on Hifiman's R2R DAC architecture. At the line output, THD+N stays at 0.0025%, channel separation reaches 131 ±3 dB and the signal-to-noise ratio 117 dB A-weighted.
A LAN port connects the EF500 to the internet and the home network. It plays music stored on a NAS or sent from a smartphone or tablet. USB-C, USB-B and coaxial inputs remain available for a computer or a digital source.
The EF500 delivers 4.5 W per channel into 32 ohms balanced and 1.32 W unbalanced. The front offers a 4-pin XLR output and a 6.35 mm jack. On the back, RCA and 3-pin XLR outputs connect it to an amplifier.
