design for high-end home

combines the best
performance possible
with an utterly unique

entertainment.

Massive Dual R-Core Power Supply

TThe Zappiti Signature is powered by two massives R-Core power transformers with separated circuits for analog
and digital, which provides superior efficiency over standard power supplies and delivers a very clean and robust
power source, producing low noise and significantly lower external magnetic field interference than traditional
transformers equipped with a laminated steel core. R-cores transformers offer less capactive coupling between
primary and secondary (less noise getting through) than toroid transformers. They also offer better efficiency than
EI cores. Sort of most of the advantages of both without the penalties of both. Finally, R-cores are more cost-effective
than other typesthan other types. Thanks to this high-end transformer, the Zappiti Signature provides christal sharp picture and an
extreme black depth, particularly interesting in video projection. Audio outputs are noise-free for more natural
timbres, perfect channel balance, perfect silence and breathing, and faster dynamic accents.

Premium DAC ESS ES9038 PRO

TThe Zappiti Signature in based on a premium 32-bit DAC ESS ES9038PRO with industry’s leading level low
distortion characteristics. Using the critically acclaimed ESS' patented HyperStream. II architecture and Time
Domain Jitter Eliminator, the ES9038PRO 32-Bit Audio DAC delivers an unprecedented DNR of up to 140dB in mono
mode and THD+N of —122dB, the industry's highest performance level that will satisfy the needs of the best home
theater owners. The ES9038PRO handles up to 32-bit 384kHz FLAC / PCM, DSD256 via DoP and native DSD512.
Residual distortions are minimized using ES9038PRO's unique THD compensation circuit, while chip-to-chip gain
vavariation is minimized via a built-in auto gain calibration circuit. You can play music in the most advanced DSD
format in "Direct DSD" mode, as well as in various lossless formats. The Signature also includes a Logic Intel Altera
MAX II that provides fast propagation delay and clock-to-output times and four global clocks with two clocks
available per logic array block (LAB).

XMOS Audio Processor

TThe Zappiti Signature incorporates an XMOS XU216-512-TQ128 2000MIPS audio processor that contains two tiles. It is
equal to two XMOS XU208 combined in one chip, one dedicated tile is used for the USB data and the other tile is
dedicated to process the audio data to the DAC. It delivers perfect digital audio processing with original sample rate
preservation, ultra-low reclocking and jitter. The XMOS XU216 chip offers significant power allowing fast and efficient
data processing for the minimum latency required for bit-perfect reading. It is accompanied by 6 separate clocks
precisely respecting each multiple of 44.1kHz and 48kHz from 16 to 32-bit but also by an ultra-low noise voltage
regulator ADP150 and MLCC decoupling capacitors regulator ADP150 and MLCC decoupling capacitors for precise and clear reproduction. The most advanced DSD
formats are supported in "Direct DSD" mode, as well as various lossless formats, including FLAC/PCM up to 384kHz.

Dual HDD Slot

With its dual 3.5 "SATA hot-swap rack, the Zappiti Signature is capable of supporting up to 40 TB total storage
internally; the equivalent of about 1000 Blu-rays or 500 4K Ultra HD Blu-rays. And as it is possible to exchange hard
drives, you have no capacity limit! With the Zappiti Signature, you no longer need to worry about storage problems.

Note: When using 2 hard drives, you can mix contents from the 2 drives into a single collection.

Dolby Vision

The ultra-vivid image of innovative visual technology Dolby
Vision®, brings characters to life with darker darks, brighter
brights, and a remarkable color range you can’t get anywhere
else. Experience a remarkable color palette, sharper contrasts,
and incredible brightness that feel more like looking through a
window than at a screen. This is HDR like you've never seen it
before. Discover subtle details you simply can’t see with a
standastandard picture, for a viewing experience without compromise,
just as the filmmakers and creators intended. Zappiti Signature
media player supports direct playback of full Blu-ray disc images
(BDMV and ISO) with menus in Dolby Vision (MEL and FEL), as
well as various file formats including MKV, MP4, TS, and M2TS. All
popular Dolby Vision profiles (P4, P5, P7 MEL and FEL, P8) are
supported. The extended Dolby Vision metadata is used and
ttransmitted to the TV to improve picture quality.

HDR10+

The Zappiti Signature is compatible with the HDR10+ technology. HDR10+ is the latest
and most advanced HDR technology, building upon HDR10 to further enhance the viewing
experience. HDR10+ signals not just the dynamic range (the ratio of light to dark) of video
content on a scene-by-scene (or even frame-by-frame) basis, it also provides, in a small amount
of metadataof metadata, the scene characteristics between bright and dark so that important detail can be
kept. This enables displays to reproduce images more realistically, adhering to the creator’s intent.
Whereas static HDR, such as HDR10, utilizes static tone mapping uniformly across the duration of
the content, HDR10+ employs dynamic tone mapping to optimize each scene individually
increasing brightness and adding contrast to fit within a display’s capabilities.

DVD, Blu-ray & UHD Menu Support

Display the DVD, Blu-ray and UHD menus and get access to additional content (director's cuts, theatrical versions,
bonus extras, bookmarks, etc.) This feature is compatible with both ISO and BDMV (DVD, Blu-ray, Blu-ray 3D and 4K
UHD). Or, if you do not want to display menus, you can start a movie immediately without trailers or warnings. The
seamless branching is also perfectly supported for perfect gapless playback on director cut editions.

Dual HDMI Output

TThe Zappiti Signature features two HDMI outputs – one HDMI Out Main port for connecting to the latest UHD 4K TVs,
projectors and A/V receivers, and an additional HDMI Out Audio Only port (v1.4) dedicated to audio for connecting
to older A/V receivers and for better audio performances. The HDMI Audio Only port features a high-stability,
high-precision clock. This design significantly reduces jitter and eliminates timing errors, allowing you to enjoy your
audio & video contents with increased accuracy when you use the audio-only HDMI output port for connecting the
audio signal to your A/V receiver. In addition, on the video output, the audio stream is automatically muted when the
HDMI Audio OnHDMI Audio Only output is used, thereby reducing the effects of video noise on the main HDMI output.

Top-Quality Components

The Zappiti Signature also includes Hi-End components from famous vendors such as JEC power connector (used in
aerospace industry), Neutrik audio connectors (Germany) Philips diodes (NL), Nichicon Audio Series and Nippon
Chemi-Con capacitors (Japan), ERO series from Vishay Roederstein and WIMA capacitors (Germany). Bennic
capacitors (Taiwan), WIMA filter capacitors are designed based on low loss polypropylene film and feature high AC
capacity at high frequencies as well as low ESL and ESR values.
