Key is tonality, and relates to the color and emotion of the music. For example, the key \u003cem\u003eC major\u003c\/em\u003e is white, innocent and pure, \u003cem\u003eE major\u003c\/em\u003e is orange, warm and energetic, and \u003cem\u003eA minor\u003c\/em\u003e is turquoise, gentle soothing sadness like a rainy day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eK DAC is the \u003cem\u003ekey\u003c\/em\u003e point, it’s the core of an audio system. XIAUDIO uses a custom R-2R ladder developed exclusively for them by Soekris of Denmark. This method of digital to analog audio conversion has become quite popular in high-performance audio, particularly with more critical headphone systems where the ability to listen to music in a highly linear fashion is key. Subtle nuances between shades of tonal colors simply flow and more accurately define the artists emotional intent hidden within.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMusic flows smoothly from this K DAC with the beauty of a very finely tuned instrument, maintaining live harmonic structure and vocals in a way XIAUDIO products are so well known for.
