Maximal Sound, Minimal Frame
The iAUDIO HiFi is slim and light, yet its performance is second to none thanks to its powerful specifications. Its 130 dB SNR, 0.0004% THD+N, and 2.0 Vrms output are among the best of the best hi-fi players.
The iAUDIO HiFi ensures that music listening is always an amazing experience.
for 24bit/192kHz Hi-Res Audio As the premier DAC in the MasterHIFI™ line of Cirrus Logic hi-fi audio products, the CS43131 DAC offers an unparalleled level of performance.
CS43131 is a high-performance DAC with a built-in high-resolution headphone amplifier.
The next-generation premium DAC merely sips battery power while delivering the best audio output.
for More Natural Sound The iAUDIO HiFi reproduces DSD in Native method and supports DSD 128.
and Beyond The iAUDIO HiFi's high-performance specs of 130 dB SNR, 0.0004% THD+N, and 2.0 Vrms output speak for themselves.
This is the result of COWON's longstanding audio know-how and will exceed even the most expensive of DAPs, leaving you with an indelible impression.
Outstanding Sound Reproduction CapabilityThat Supports Multiple High-Resolution Formats iAUDIO HiFi not only supports MP3, WMA, OGG but also supports DFF, DSF, SACD-ISO which is a DSD format
and supports lossless formats such as WAV, AIFF, FLAC, ALAC, APE to offer the full spectrum of high quality sound formats.
MADE IN KOREA
Everything from Development to Manufacturing
The iAUDIO HiFi was created entirely by Korean professionals in Korea, from product planning and design to development and manufacturing. This is COWON's efforts toward eliminating low quality associated with low-cost materials and unskilled
manufacturing techniques, and the result is evident in the iAUDIO HiFi's high quality.
Premium Sound DAC Filter Five digital filters (Fast/Low-latency, Fast/Phase-comp, Slow/Low-latency, Slow/Phase-comp, Non-oversampling)
are provided to enable fine micro-tuning. This empowers listeners to tune sounds
previously beyond the limits of hearing even with identical sound sources.

However, the iAUDIO HiFi confidently discloses and stands behind the SNR, THD+N, and stereo cross-talk figures,
which are basic facets of measuring audio performance. This is COWON's technological prowess proven numerically.
* A small THD+N value means a reduced occurrence of harmonic distortion on an audio device.
* A low stereo crosstalk value means less inter-channel interference for a clear separation of left and right channels.
Perfect for Language Learning The iAUDIO HiFi offers 11 steps of playback speed adjustment, from 50% to 150%. AB repeat allows you to loop a specific portion of audio, which is useful in memorizing or language learning.
Another Criterion for Perfect SoundJetEffect 5 & BBE+ JetEffect 5 and BBE+ combine to correct sound distortions and phase caused by either the physical limitations
of a receiver or the listening environment and reproduce sound closest to the original studio recording.
| 5 Band EQ Filter | Advanced settings to adjust the frequency and width of each band. |
| BBE | High-definition effects to sharpen sound. (Phase correction) |
| Mach3Bass | Bass booster to enhance super low-end bass. |
| 3D Surround | Three-dimensional sound for an enhanced sense of space. |
| MP Enhance | A feature for compensating lost sound segments. |
| Reverb* | A reverb effect for enhanced realism |
| * Reverb Mode | Chamber, Room, Club, Hall, Auditorium, Cathedral, Stadium, Canyon, Long |
The Best Choice
for Original Live Sound Reproduction, BBE+ Sound includes a unique high frequency harmonics, and this unique harmonics pattern helps users to distinguish the each instrument. This high frequency harmonics reach our ears earlier than the normal frequency in live sound. Human brain recognizes earlier signal as more important signal, therefore high frequency harmonics is vital component in music. However, like speakers, headphones, and earphones, receivers tend to delay high frequency range rather than low frequency range, resulting in decrease in clarity and reality. Normally, equalizer or tone control is used to increase clarity and reality in sound, however this method cannot remove the delay of high frequency range to reproduce the natural sound. By applying BBE, phase characteristics of lower and middle frequency bands can be delayed comparing to high frequency band, resulting high frequency reaches human ears earlier than any other frequencies to make the same condition as live sound. Also, by gently expressing high and low frequency range, very dense and clear sound can be reproduced.

High-Output Mode for
High-Impedance Headphone Users New to the iAUDIO HiFi is a high-output headphone mode to properly drive high-impedance headphones. High-end, high-impedance headphones can be driven without a separate headphone amplifier for greater flexibility when used in combination with various receivers.
Expanded to 140 Levels
for Detailed Volume Control To enjoy HD Sound delicately, iAUDIO HiFi provides 140 levels of volume control. By holding the button, level of volume changes quickly. Fine volume adjustment is possible to change 0.5dB per one level, therefore you can enjoy the music at an optimum level.
iAUDIO HiFi was designed for optimal slimness and has a depressed seam between the front and the back
so as to provide the best possible sense of grip, providing stability when the product is in a user's hand.
for One-Handed Control The iAUDIO HiFi provides an optimal interface that was created with careful consideration of the user environment, allowing for one-handed operation via a capacitive touchpad with fast response and stable performance, swing-touch interface that enables full control with just your thumb while holding the device, and physical button on the left and right sides.
