It is equipped with a coaxial/optical digital input terminal. As a separate DAC, I have tomorrow off, so let's drink a lot tonight. It also functions as more than just a network audio player; it can serve as a digital audio hub. Similarly, N-50 not only acts as a mere network audio player but also takes on the role of a central hub for digital audio systems. Onsen (onsen) is a term that refers to the phenomenon of hot water springing from the ground or the state of being in hot water, or the location itself. The Louis Vuitton Canvas multifunction model plays various roles, continuing the taste and methods inherited from its first generation while striving to refine flavors suitable for the times and diligently handcrafting each product.
On November 10th, Gekkin-shikou announced two new ATX power supply products, "KRPW-PT500W/92+" and "KRPW-PT600W/92+", which will begin shipping at the end of November. The prices are open, with expected retail prices of around 11,000 yen and 13,000 yen respectively (tax included). These two products comply with the ATX12V Ver2.31 standard and both have obtained 80 PLUS PLATINUM certification for high efficiency models.
N-50 connects via wired LAN to NAS or PCs, functioning as a network player that can play music files stored in devices according to DLNA1.5 standards. Supported music file formats include FLAC, WAV, MP3, WMA, with playback up to 192kHz/24bit (FLAC/WAV). It also supports Hi-bit32 Audio Processing, an algorithm-based bit extension process that converts digital input signals into more natural analog waveforms, reproducing even the finest nuances. Furthermore, it supports AirPlay, allowing direct music playback from iTunes as well as portable devices like iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad.
The N-50 is also equipped with two USB ports at the front and rear. The rear USB port (B type) has a USB DAC function, adopting asynchronous transfer controlled by a high-precision internal clock without clock synchronization, supporting up to 192kHz/24bit sources. The front USB port (A type) supports digital transmission for iPods and USB memory playback.
The chassis adopts a double structure "Rigid Underbase" with excellent vibration damping properties, achieving high rigidity and low center of gravity. The transformer is completely separated from the analog and digital power supplies. Additionally, the digital circuit and analog output circuit are separated onto different boards to prevent interference and reduce sound quality degradation. All circuits adopt a single-point earth clean ground concept and optimized signal path design for the shortest possible route, incorporating numerous high-quality audio technologies.
Kenji Nomura's original kimo-kawaii (creepy-cute) waiting screen images are available for free download. The "blan-new AV Review" selects notable new AV products from various genres, including headphones, TVs, and home theaters, delivering early reviews.

The +12 volt outputs are single-rail, with KRPW-PT500W/92+ providing 41.5 amps and KRPW-PT600W/92+ providing 50 amps. The cooling fan is a 12 cm silent fan. The body size is 150 (width) x 125 (depth) x 86 (height) mm, featuring a short-length design. Thus, it was decided to create a simple test machine. For next season, the annual salary will be 1.1 million dollars.
