Within the Memory series, the M198C is tuned for high-fidelity (HiFi) music reproduction. The composition of the cable's conductor materials and the DSP settings of the built-in DAC together provide a clean, noise-free background and a balanced sound image. Details appear naturally while the overall sound remains faithful to the original recording.

At its heart lies the Cirrus Logic CS43198 DAC chip, capable of processing PCM 384kHz/32bit and DSD256 digital formats. The DAC works together with a high-performance integrated USB audio bridge chip, which includes integrated DSP, ADC, and PGA. Thanks to this, the M198C offers not only refined musical experience but also supports microphone recording and in-line controls.

The connector, splitter, and headphone pins are housed in CNC-machined aluminum alloy. This solution significantly increases durability and stability, giving the product a premium feel. The finely crafted details serve quality at every point.

The cable conductors inherit the Nyx Net series technology: 5N purity monocrystalline copper (OCC) ensures clean signal transmission. The outer jacket is a dense yet flexible nylon braid, guaranteeing premium audio performance and excellent portability.

The integrated microphone is connected via a separately shielded OCC cable pair to the decoder connector, eliminating common ground or noise sources. This design effectively filters interference. The built-in controller supports music playback controls (play/pause, track change), as well as microphone calls and recording, making it ideal for gaming, streaming, or everyday phone use.
