Upgrade specs:
1. Output power increased from SA-1's 5.5 watts into 32 ohms to 10 watts into 32 ohms, with a maximum of 15 watts into 20 ohms; supports headphones down to 8 ohms minimum impedance.
2. Circuit optimization maintains ultra-low distortion even at high power output.
3. Enhanced thermal management with a copper block + aluminum alloy heatsink design;
4. Reduced impedance at the balanced headphone output, boosting current drive capability for greater pushing power;
5. Optimized PCB routing, adjusted DC bias circuitry, added DC servo design, and incorporated a GND/LIFT mode switch;
Supports global AC voltages 100V-240V without switching; identical hardware for China, Europe, US, and UK versions, differing only in included power cords.
