xDuoo has released a new integrated amplifier/DAC with a headphone socket. The TA-30 includes ESS’s EQ9038Q2M chip and a headphone section producing  3000mW at 32 Ohms 

As you can see, valves are prevalent on the TA-30. That large valve is an Adopt 5Z3P plus two Adopt ECC82 valves. 

Also present in the TA-30 chassis is a Qualcomm CSR8675 for Bluetooth 5.0 which supports formats such as LDAC, apt-X, apt-X HD, apt-X LL, AAC and SBC.

The unit can handle up to 32bit/768kHz PCM and DSD 512 in its native form.

Audio input options include USB. optical and co-axial. 

The USB input via phone/tablet (i.e. iOS and Android) supports PCM up to 32bit/384kHz and DSD 128 natively.

Optical and co-axial inputs support 24bit/192kHz and DSD 64 natively.

Arriving with a 33mm OLED screen, the DAC has seven built-in PCM filters and one DSD filter, which change the sound envelope in an EQ kinda way. 

Price is $710.
