Lotoo PAW Gold high-definition player
The Beijing-based Infomedia Group is China's largest broadcasting/studio technology development company. However, the giant company, which is also developing and producing for Nagra in Switzerland, is not only at home in studio technology, but also in "converting" it to a portable size for demanding consumers. The Lotoo brand was established in 1999 as a manufacturer of professional audio equipment with the aim of offering the highest quality professional recording and playback products in the world.
Studio Technology Genes
Uspiring experience in the development and production of professional equipment, in 2014 Lotoo introduced its most advanced high-definition player PAW Gold. Its thoughtfulness and build quality made it a reference for the industry, and its sound quality made it one of the most favorites of audiophiles, making it an all-out masterpiece. Infinitely precise and analytical sound with user-adjustable parametric equalizer and the ability to modify digital reverb.
Design
Lotoo PAW Gold is a high-strength aluminum alloy used in the aerospace industry and machined with CNC machines. Careful material selection and computer-controlled machining resulted in a solid, almost indestructible device frame. The high-density alloy behaves acoustically neutral, making it immune to micro-vibrations, as well as excellently canceling external electrical interference.
The mechanical controls are designed to be fail-safe and fail-free. Microswitches used in professional production, potentiometer guarantee stable quality.
The conscious design of the display is designed to ensure that music sounds the same even at low battery levels, reducing the brightness of the display. The display reads perfectly even at low brightness.
Processor technology
A Analog Device Inc. Blackfin BF514 DSP main processor executes all operating system commands in real time and follows our instructions in the blink of an eye, as well as supporting the player's extensive EQ and tonal formatting capabilities.
THE PAW's Gold DAC circuitry is based on a Burr-Brown PCM1792 DAC chip that is supported by absolutely stable and accurate clock speeds. The DAC supports decoding of 16-24 bit / 8 kHz-384 kHz PCM files, as well as decoding DSD64 (2.8 MHz) and DSD128 (5.6MHz) files.
The Texas Instruments LME49600 amplifier module delivers ultra-high power to serve the widest range of headphones and earphones.
File Management
PAW Gold provides extensive file compatibility. Support almost all formats of lossless and lossy files, including SACD-ISO format.
