FEATURES
Described below are AiOS' more unique features. Please read the Operation Section of this manual to
learn more on utilizing these features. The features are subject to change without notice or obligation.
LIFESTYLE DESIGN
When we say AiOS is a Lifestyle product, we mean it! About the footprint of a mid-sized laptop,
AiOS' front to back gently curved aluminum chassis embossed with "AiOS" is a modern stylized
work of art. Similar to the top contour the bottom is also curved although a bit gentler. This
sleek modern look is also meant to blend into your décor. No longer do you need to build a
room around your audio system. Now you can customize the audio system to your room, both
in placement and looks. The front panel of AiOS when off is unassuming yet artistic. When on,
the center LCD screen and touch sensitive engraved buttons we refer to as "keys" can be set to
1 of 7 preset colors as one, or independently of each other. To further expand the lifestyle
customization, we offer 5 additional interchangeable color side panels. These features create
literally hundreds of design combinations! Now that's Lifestyle!
MQA (MASTER QUALITY AUTHENTICATED) 16x RENDERING
AiOS is fully MQA Certified. MQA is a technology that captures the full magic of an original
studio performance. Using pioneering scientific research into how people hear, MQA delivers
master quality audio in a file that's small enough to stream or download – the days of sacrificing
quality for convenience are over. Every nuance and subtlety of the artist's performance – every
tiny drop of emotion is authentically reproduced. When you listen, you'll be transported right
into the very moment of creation. The AiOS is only the second of MQA's partner products,
behind our own DMS-500, to offer 16x rendering of MQA files, meaning all MQA files will play up
to 705.6 or 768 kHz sampling rates.
fi™ BLUETOOTH IMPLEMENTATION
Bluetooth modules are a fantastic and convenient way in which to share and listen to music from
online and mobile sources. It's not unusual for companies to use such modules as a complete
end-to-end or add on solution whereby using the cheap low-grade onboard DAC chips included in
the modules and simply passing the analog signal of the module to the analog output section.
Our solution is to fully integrate (fi™) the digital information of the Qualcomm aptX® Bluetooth
receiver into the entire digital circuit of AiOS. This approach ensures that Bluetooth sources have
the potential to sound like any other expensive input source whereby utilizing our sophisticated
digital topology of parallel DACs and our other integrated digital features such as; TruBit™
Upsampling, and OSO™ Reclocking. Now your Bluetooth sources can truly be high fi .
BLUETOOTH SEND
If you notice, AiOS has no headphone jack. Why is that? Today, Bluetooth headphones have
overtaken wired headphones overall in sales. This means customer's lifestyles demand no wires
and on-the-go listening. With AiOS' Bluetooth SEND feature, you can send any of AiOS' sources to
your Bluetooth enabled headphones. Sit back and enjoy your music without tripping or tangling
yourself, or others, in the process. Another great way to utilize the Bluetooth SEND feature is to
use a pair of stereo Bluetooth speakers. This allows you to forego speaker wires altogether and
place you speakers anywhere that's best for you and your lifestyle.
