XM6 Gallery

The XM6 contains the legendary Wolfson Micro WM8740-series DAC, operating at 192kHz with 24-bit resolution. You can order with your choice of WM8740, WM8741, or WM8742.



A first for any portable amp: a Multimedia Controller Stick, allowing Play / Pause / NextTrack / PreviousTrack functionality while using the USB DAC.



Lithium-Ion FastCharge® System connected to XM6.

FastCharger will charge the internal Lithium battery in approximately 90 minutes.

FastCharger is a "World" charger - it will operate from 105 to 240VAC, 50 or 60Hz.

XM6 and Lithium-Ion FastCharge System

XM6 uses multiple shielded 4-layer impedence-controlled heavy-copper Printed Circuit Boards (PCB).

Crossfeed Adjuster knob on rear of XM6. Turn this to adjust the amount of crossfeed.

Crossfeed is enabled or disabled by the button on the front panel.

Note the USB cutout is contoured to the USB connector - typical of XM6's attention to detail!






Solid metal jacks, for a reliable and noise-free connection.



Volume knob has a steel shaft and bushing (not plastic) for strength, rigidity, and reliability.





The optional AD8397 "DoubleCat" is a two-channel amp/buffer hybrid, mounted on a SOIC-to-two-DIP8 DoubleCat adapter.
