With wired and wireless inputs—including Ethernet, USB, and Bluetooth—and versatile I/O, it anchors both headphone and speaker systems with ease.\nR‑2R Ladder DAC with Analog Musicality\nBuilt around the Hymalaya Pro R‑2R DAC—the next evolution of HiFiMAN’s resistor-ladder engine—the Serenade delivers smooth, natural tonality with THD down to 0.0012% at -6 dB. Eliminating coupling capacitors and using an FPGA algorithm with 0.01% precision, the  resistors retain dynamic detail without harshness.\n\nPure Class A Headphone Amplification\n\nA fully-discrete, FET-based Class A amplifier—derived from the Prelude flagship—powers headphones with authority and a silent backdrop with up to 4W balanced (4,000 mW @ 32 Ω) and nearly 3W single-ended power. \n\nHigh‑Resolution Network & Digital Inputs\n\nSupports PCM up to 768 kHz and DSD512 via Ethernet, and PCM up to 384 kHz/DSD256 over USB‑B. Optical and coaxial inputs handle up to 192 kHz PCM and DSD64 via DoP. Bluetooth 5.0 with LDAC and aptX HD adds flexible wireless streaming. \n\nVersatile I/O for All Systems\n\nThe front panel includes 4‑pin XLR, 4.4 mm balanced, and 6.35 mm single-ended headphone outputs, while the rear features balanced XLR and RCA line-outs, analog inputs, and full digital connectivity. You can use it as a DAC/preamp alongside speakers or amps.\n\nProduct highlights\n\n\nHymalaya Pro R‑2R ladder DAC; THD ≈ 0.0012% @ –6 dB\nClass A headphone amp: balanced 4 W @ 32 Ω, SE 2.8 W @ 32 Ω \nNetwork streaming: PCM768, DSD512; USB‑B: PCM384, DSD256 \nBluetooth 5.0 with LDAC & aptX HD\nI/O: front XLR, 4.4 mm, 6.35 mm; rear line-outs, analog in/out, coax, optical\n50W toroidal transformer; capacitor bank & low-drop filters \nCompact chassis: 300×255×50 mm; ","images":["https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0225/2721/3642/files/apos-audio-hifiman-hifiman-goldenwave-serenade-desktop-streaming-dac-amp-1176357875.webp?v=1751559881","https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0225/2721/3642/files/apos-audio-hifiman-hifiman-goldenwave-serenade-desktop-streaming-dac-amp-1176357874.webp?v=1751559878","https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0225/2721/3642/files/apos-audio-hifiman-hifiman-goldenwave-serenade-desktop-streaming-dac-amp-1176357873.webp?v=1751559776","https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0225/2721/3642/files/apos-audio-hifiman-hifiman-goldenwave-serenade-desktop-streaming-dac-amp-1176357872.webp?v=1751559773","https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0225/2721/3642/files/apos-audio-hifiman-hifiman-goldenwave-serenade-desktop-streaming-dac-amp-1176357871.webp?v=1751559770"],"price":999,"currency":"USD","in_stock":true,"inventory_qty":9999,"dynamic_pricing":false,"listed_at":"2026-06-20T16:25:57.429Z"},"share_url":"https://firestarter.network/l/lst_DWep8Xpg","purchase":{"summary":"Live product listing on the Firestarter agent commerce network.
