Dual-Chip Flagship Architecture For High-Resolution Decoding & Powerful Drive

Jcally JM98MAX employs a dual-chip design pairing the Cirrus Logic CS43198 flagship DAC with SGMicro’s SGM8262 independent operational amplifier, delivering robust driving power while maintaining exceptional fidelity. Supporting high-resolution decoding up to 32-bit/384kHz PCM and native DSD256 playback, the dedicated and synchronised decoding and amplification stages enhance signal quality at the source, revealing fine details and an expansive, immersive presentation across all genres.

Integrates Independent Power Design For Reduced Interference And High Resolution

Jcally JM98MAX features an independently powered digital supply alongside a low-noise positive/negative voltage architecture that minimises interference between circuit sections. This dual-flagship implementation significantly enhances resolution and dynamic performance, resulting in pure output and more stable operation even under demanding playback conditions.

Employs High-Power Amplification With Ultra-Low Output Impedance For Stable Drive

Jcally JM98MAX combines high-power headphone amplification with an ultra-low output impedance of just 0.65Ω under a 32Ω load, ensuring stable performance across a wide range of earphones and headphones. Jcally JM98 MAX maintains natural tonal balance and reliable drive for both low-impedance IEMs and high-sensitivity over-ear models, while moderate operating temperatures of approximately 38°C during normal use remain within safe limits typical of high-performance audio equipment and do not affect reliability or performance.

Incorporates POP Suppression And Control Support For Personalised Listening

Jcally JM98MAX includes a built-in POP suppression chip that reduces noise during plug and unplug events, protecting both equipment and listening comfort. It also supports EQ adjustment and inline remote functionality, allowing users to tailor playback characteristics and control music conveniently according to personal preferences.

Integrates Reference-Grade Measurement Performance For Maximum Signal Purity

Jcally JM98MAX delivers benchmark performance across key metrics, including 110dB SINAD, ultra-low 0.0003% THD+N, −70dB crosstalk under a 32Ω load, a 1.3µVrms noise floor, and a wide 120dB dynamic range exceeding the MasterHIFI reference of 114dB. Jcally JM98 MAX preserves signal integrity while minimising noise, distortion, and channel interference, resulting in cleaner backgrounds, precise separation, and faithful reproduction of fine details.

Supports High-Resolution USB Audio Across Multiple Platforms

Jcally JM98MAX supports sampling rates up to 32-bit/384kHz and is compatible with Android and iOS devices via USB-C as well as macOS and Windows 10 (or later) computers using the UAC 2.0 protocol. It connects easily to phones, tablets, laptops, and other compatible devices, as well as to earphones, headphones, speakers, and car audio systems through its 3.5mm output.

Implements Multi-Color Indicator System For Instant Status Recognition

Jcally JM98MAX uses a comprehensive RGB indicator system that displays operating modes and playback status through distinct colours. Sampling formats are indicated clearly - standby in red, PCM in green, and DSD in blue, while EQ modes are also colour-coded, including yellow for original balance, cyan for low-frequency enhancement, and pink for high-frequency enhancement. Users can switch to UAC1.0 mode by holding for three seconds, with visual confirmation provided by colour changes.

Equips USB-C Connectivity And 3.5mm Output For Universal Compatibility

Jcally JM98MAX is equipped with a USB-C interface, RGB indicator lighting, and a standard 3.5mm headphone jack, balancing portability with broad device support. It connects seamlessly to smartphones, tablets, computers, and other audio sources, ensuring simple integration into a wide range of listening setups.

Crafted In A Premium Iridescent Metal Construction For Durability And Elegance

Jcally JM98MAX features evolved craftsmanship with a premium anodised finish rated at Mohs hardness level 9, delivering strong scratch resistance and long-term durability. The housing combines CMP mirror polishing, 5-axis CNC-machined aluminium alloy construction, and tempered curved glass, resulting in a sleek, refined appearance with robust structural integrity.

Comes With A High-Purity 8-Strand Silver-Copper Hybrid Cable For Enhanced Transmission

Jcally JM98MAX is paired with a premium 8-strand, 448-core silver-copper hybrid cable designed using a QILIN spiral structure to minimise signal attenuation and jitter. This low-impedance, flexible cable preserves waveform integrity during digital transmission, ensuring accurate signal delivery with durability suitable for daily use.

Integrates Portable Form Factor For Seamless Everyday Listening

Jcally JM98MAX combines compact dimensions with powerful performance, making it ideal for commuting, entertainment, and critical listening sessions alike. Whether used on the move or in a stationary setup, it delivers immersive playback, stable connectivity, and clear communication performance across diverse real-world scenarios.
