With the included 48V\/5A adapter it delivers 120W per channel into 4Ω, and with a larger supply it reaches 300W per channel. Bluetooth 6.0 with LDAC, a USB DAC, coaxial and analogue inputs, analogue bass and treble knobs, and subwoofer and pre outputs make it the hub of a compact hi-fi system, in an aluminium case with real wood side panels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/3199\/8339\/files\/FIIOLEVEL1-1000x759.jpg?v=1790784974\" alt=\"FiiO Jade Audio LEVEL 1 amplifiers in silver with maple and black with walnut side panels\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSmall footprint, serious power\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDespite its 181 × 133mm footprint, the LEVEL 1 can drive most mainstream passive bookshelf, desktop and floor-standing speakers of 4–8Ω.

Its PurePath Ultra-HD technology combines integrated feedback with high-speed gate-driver error correction for high power with low distortion. FiiO adds a post-filter feedback (PFFB) loop, which lowers output noise and output impedance (under 0.2Ω), improves THD+N and intermodulation distortion, keeps the frequency response steady whatever the speaker load, and suppresses distortion from the output LC filter. The result: THD+N below 0.0025%, a signal-to-noise ratio of up to 111dB and a frequency response of 5Hz–40kHz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAudiophile-grade parts inside\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA six-layer, immersion-gold, thick-copper circuit board and fully shielded power inductors keep the signal stable and the power delivery efficient.
