Promoted by the company as "everything you wanted and everything you needed", the Colibri is an affordable solution to ensuring the highest quality music playback on the go.
The specially designed, balanced, battery-powered device is small but strong in performance, offering up to 5 hours of charge. Battery power provides ultra-clean and stable DC current, avoiding the issues of noise-inducing RFI/EMI pollution.
The heart of the Colibri is the flagship of the ESS line ES9281 PRO DAC. The ESS SABRE PRO series sets a new benchmark in high-end audio by offering the highest dynamic range (DNR) with impressively low levels of total harmonic distortion plus noise (THD+N). Colibri supports Hi-Res PCM files up to 32bit/384kHz PCM, DoP, DSD64, DSD128 and MQA.
