Factors contributed to the special sound quality of Thivan TMP 9038:

Most of the DAC 9038s available on the market use buffers.  The output for DAC9038 chip is a semiconductor with a very deep negative feedback, which brings about rather clean sounds, yet filters out harmonies from 9038 chip, resulting in the loss of instrument and vocal naturalistic sounds. Therefore, many users unfavorably respond to DACs of this new chip saying that the sound is too “Digital”, emotionless and dry!!

With the combination of an electronic light, the DAC Tube Music Processor – 9038 has been engineered to deliver sound smoothness and authenticity, preserving the true integrity of sound!

In Thivan’s TMP 9038, for source processing, the audio output is considerately invested with 12AU7 and EL84 tubes using the Single Ended circuit. The entire circuit is designed to run Class A without negative feedback to maximize sound details and music of ES9038 chip, every note of the song or voice vibration of the vocalist is preserved and transmitted as faithfully as possible.
