MBOX的技术特色
Intel N2600 CPU
MBOX uses new-generation Intel Cedarview-M 32nmAtom dual core processor N2600, which is
recommended to be adopted in built-in industrial control computer. From this design original intention, it is
easy to understand the MBOX pursuit of quality.
Intel N2600 processor’ s extra-low power consumption design enables MBOX a powerful and smooth
computing power while having the aluminum cooling, thus offers listeners a quiet listening status.
MBOX uses onboard non slot DDR3 memory chip, reduces the distances between memory and CPU
utmostly, and eliminates the EMI created by the two.
Power supply is the uppermost priority part of a audio device design, MBOX’ s has no exception.
MBOX adopts ring transformer and linear stability circuit to supply power and pure stable energy to CPU
chip, network chip, USB, DAC chip and analogous circuit, etc. The shunt and partition power supply mode
eliminates the interference and crosstalk to the utmost.
MBOX can play all common music file formats like WAV、APE、FLAC、AAC、MP3、WMA.
User-defined built-in operating system, preemptive multitasking, with sound system response and stability,
meets the basic needs of high quality music playback.

and resource allocation, according to the practical demand of music playing.
MBOX DAC clock has an independent running mode without keeping pace with the CPU high speed
clock, which isolates the linkage effects of high speed clock jitter to DAC time base.
MBOX is dual time base designed, the time base comes from two low jitter OSC crystal oscillators. When
the sampling rate of music data steam is 48/96/192K, 24.576MHZ OSC starts to work.
