Muse HiFi M5 Ultra Tube+Transistor Portable DAC/AMP Launched


In a short span of time, Muse HiFi has made a good mark in the HiFi audio industry with its high-quality yet pocket-friendly products. They have introduced their latest flagship portable USB+Bluetooth DAC/Amp, introducing the Muse HiFi M5 Ultra.

Equipped with industry-leading features such as JAN6418 military-grade NOS vacuum tubes, Customized ESS Audio architecture, Qualcomm’s advanced QCC5125 Bluetooth chipset, etc. the M5 Ultra takes your portable audio listening level to the next stage. It packs Vacuum Tube+Transistor dual-mode amplification that users can switch between based on their mood and use case scenario.

Muse HiFi has designed an ultra-low jitter audio clock for high-resolution audio signal processing, and custom Vacuum Tube Shock absorbing technology to ensure clean sound in tube mode with no microphonic or stethoscopic effects!

Muse HiFi has worked with ESS Factory to develop the “6418” variant of the ES9038Q2M DAC chipset. The M5 Ultra features the “6418 Architecture” consisting of this optimized DAC chipset. The major purpose of this customization is to get rid of the electromagnetic and signal interferences that occur with JAN6418 Tubes with Bluetooth signals.

Muse HiFi has stated that the M5 Ultra is free from any such kind of interference, promising clean and detailed output with no noticeable background noise even in the Tube mode. The M5 Ultra also has an ultra-low jitter high-resolution audio clock architecture. We have high-quality Accusilicon AS318B series 45.1584MHz/49.152MHz ultra-low jitter clocks. We also have seven digital filters to play around as well.

Muse HiFi M5 Ultra features both Vacuum Tube as well as Transistor amplification modes. These are user switchable. The device houses dual American Raytheon JAN6418 military-grade pre-heated NOS vacuum tubes. For protection of the tubes as well as countering any stethoscopic interference issues, Muse HiFi has developed Tube Shock Absorber technology for the M5 Ultra. It includes custom rubber components and suspensions. They keep the tube intact in their place protecting them from accidental drop damage as well.

Muse HiFi M5 Ultra houses dual headphone output ports, one 3.5mm single-ended port and another 4.4mm balanced output port. Both the Tube and Transistor modes are available for both these modes. Muse HiFi M5 Ultra has three-level adjustable gain. It drives most IEMs and Headphones out there with ease. Muse HiFi has featured advanced Qualcomm QCC5125 Bluetooth chipset that enables latest Bluetooth connectivity on the device for signal input. With its dual-DSP, dual-core CPU design, the QCC5125 enables high-definition LDAC, AptX Adaptive protocols for the signal transmission.

Muse HiFi M5 Ultra has a simple user interface showcased on a small display screen. The UI has a clean presentation with just one level of menu. You don’t have to dive deeper into the menu to navigate to different functions as everything is available on the main menu level only. On the screen we have default functions such as battery status, bit rate, USB/BT mode, Vacuum or Transistor mode, etc.

Muse HiFi M5 Ultra packs a 3000mAH battery that ensures long lasting music playback on the M5 Ultra. It has a rated durability of over 10 hours. The device supports fast charging protocols such as QC4.0 and PD Fast-Charging.
