Adept Audio 1050 Overview
I've had this unit for just over a year now and it's been extremely good to me. Despite its small size, it has managed to deliver crisp and clear output, especially when powered by my headphone amplifier. I've used it as both a stand-alone headphone amp and a portable DAC with my iPhone, iPad, and laptop. Its clear and neutral tonality is a treat for anyone who likes to listen to music.
The ESS ES9016 DACs on the AD5 use a new Volume IC for superior sound orientation and low noise, ensuring outstanding fidelity from Blu-ray Discs and other digital sources. They are paired with ESS's proprietary DAC on Pure Ground concept, which achieves stable ground potential and dramatically enhances silence and resolution over the entire audio range.
Adept Audio 1050 Features
The AD5 features ESS's state-of-the-art 32-bit ESS ES9016 DACs which are designed to offer superior SN ratio and dynamic range with a superior low-jitter clock circuit. This combination works to minimize noise levels and provide excellent sound quality over the entire audio range for rich and expressive reproduction of even the most delicate sounds.
ESS's patented 32-bit Hyper Stream, Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) compensation function reduces noise levels to produce exceptional clarity and resolution for accurate and accurate audio reproduction from digital sources. It also eliminates the potential difference between audio circuit stages that can cause ground noise to occur, dramatically enhancing silence and resolution over the entire sound range.
Dual USB-C interfaces enable convenient connection of two PCs and mobile devices for multi-platform synchronous live streaming. These interfaces support both mono and stereo audio outputs, which are ideal for a variety of musical applications.
Four control knobs allow users to adjust preamp gain, monitor volume, and output gain independently. In addition, users can choose between recording and live streaming modes, so they can easily realize their musical projects.
The AD5 has two 3.5 mm and two 6.35 mm XLR interfaces for connecting 48V phantom-powered microphones and Hi-Z instruments. These interfaces feature unique direct and input monitoring modes, which allow users to directly monitor audio processed by the DAW software without delay. They can also be used to connect monitor speakers to the AD5 for accurate and precise monitoring of a live performance.

- After Sales Support - The only issue with Hi-Fi equipment is that you will not find local service centers in every city. Most of the brands have their service centers only in the metro cities and hence it becomes difficult for the customers who are living far away places to claim warranty. At AV Kart, we solve this problem by arranging pikcup and drop facility from the nearest service center with the help of our logistic partners.
