High Resolution Audio for Uncompromised Sound

Enjoy the subtlest nuances in higher-than-CD quality Hi-Res Audio. Passion for music unites every component from signal to speaker so it feels like the artist is performing right in front of you.

S-Master HX Delivers Hi-Res Audio in Maximum Quality

Optimized for Hi-Res Audio S-Master HX reduces distortion and noise allowing you to enjoy all the subtleties in your music.

DSD Playback

Experience the natural sound and intense detail of DSD audio formats. This is the preferred recording format of many top producers and engineers and you can enjoy it using the NW-A40 Series high-quality PCM conversion.

DSEE HX Restores all Your Compressed Music Files

The Digital Sound Enhancement Engine HX (DSEE HX) upscales compressed digital music files (MP3 ACC ATRAC and WMA) and takes them closer to the quality of Hi-Res Audio. By restoring the high-range sound lost in compression DSEE HX produces your digital music files in rich natural sound.

New Soldering Maximizes Clarity

The precision-engineered components of the NW-A40 Series include high-quality lead-free solder on the circuit board. This improved solder is also used on the S-Master HX chip resulting in a more efficient electronic connection. So every time you press play you can enjoy purer audio playback with enhanced vocal clarity.

New Circuit Board for Pure Solid Bass

The NW-A40 Series' circuit board has been optimized to improve electricity flow. The layout from the battery to the audio block minimizes the power loop making the power supply stable. The result is clearer sound and pure solid bass that comes through in every track.

LDAC: for the Transmission of Hi-Res Audio Content

Enjoy your music at greater than CD quality with LDAC wireless audio transmission. LDAC uses a conventional BLUETOOTH connection but transfers at a maximum data transfer rate up to 990kbps approximately three times that of other audio profiles. The result is enhanced wireless listening that's much closer to the artist's intention.

Digital Noise Cancelling for Fewer Distractions

When used with compatible IER-NW500N headphones the NW-A40 Series' digital noise-cancelling reduces the ambient noise you would normally hear from your surroundings. Microphones built in to the headphones work with the digital noise cancelling engine to cut out unwanted sound.

Ambient Sound Mode Keeps You Aware

Listening to music but still want to hear the outside world? When you're using the compatible IER-NW500N headphones select Ambient sound mode and the NW-A40 Series will let in external sounds to keep you aware of your surroundings.
