訊源是音響的源頭，影響深遠！
雙校正時鐘 Aesthetix Pandora USB DAC，使用真空管 DAC 線路，機箱為全鋁製結構、並以不鏽鋼將數位、類比和電源隔離屏蔽。
提供全平衡 XLR 和 RCA 類比訊號輸出；三組全獨立的變壓器分別對應數位、類比和控制供電，讓機器內各電路不會互相干擾，保持訊號純淨。
除現有 S/PDIF、AES/EBU 與 USB 輸入端子外，另預留「插槽式」輸入界面，供未來如有新傳輸界面問世時，可加裝「數位介面卡」直接升級。
USB 輸入採「非同步處理」(Asychronous transfer) 傳輸，可大幅度降低時基誤差。
真空管類比放大，使用 12AX7 與 6DJ8 各一對，「無負回授」放大線路，為市面上少有的高階真空管放大 USB DAC！
