About the LM-502CA
The LM-502CA is a full-sized component with an all-metal body, weighing 6.7 kg. It includes five digital inputs: AES/EBU, BNC, USB, optical, and coaxial, each capable of decoding up to 32-bit/192kHz PCM signals. The device uses asynchronous USB technology with XMOS for ultra-low jitter and distortion. It features a top-of-the-line ESS Sabre 9016 DAC chip and utilizes a dual transformer design, with a toroidal transformer for digital circuits and an EI transformer for analog circuits. The tube output stage uses two 12AU7/ECC82 tubes, while a 6Z4 tube handles rectification. The solid-state output provides a cleaner signal, while the tube output adds warmth and character to the sound. The device is praised for its clarity, detail, and musicality, making it a great choice for audiophiles seeking a refined listening experience.
