Industry-Leading DAC Chip Performance
The AP80 Pro-X uses dual ESS9219C DAC chips with unprecedented dynamic range and ultra-low distortion. It supports +130dB SNR, +121dB DNR, -114dB THD+N, 32-bit 384kHz PCM, and analog gain control for up to 2.0Vrms output, reducing output noise at real listening levels. All of this ensures unbeatable sound quality.
MQA (Master Quality Authenticated)
The HiDizs AP80 Pro-X includes MQA technology, allowing playback of MQA audio files and streams to deliver the sound of the original master recording.
"MQA" or "MQA Studio" indicates that the product decodes and plays MQA streams or files, ensuring the sound is identical to the source material. "MQA Studio" indicates playback of MQA Studio files approved in the studio by artists/producers or verified by copyright holders.

MQA 8X Audio Technology
MQA is an award-winning UK technology that delivers the sound of the original master recording. Master MQA files are fully authenticated and small enough for streaming or download.
The Hidizs AP80 Pro-X Portable Music Player uses MQA technology for the final unfold (8X) of MQA files.
Excellent FPGA Chip for Superior Audio Performance
The AP80 Pro-X is equipped with an FPGA chip HBC3000, supports native DSD64/128/256, enhances the precision of digital music playback with a master clock, and can fully control clock jitter. Decoding – data processing – audio output, every detail is handled perfectly.


What makes the flagship AP80 Pro-X stand out?
- Despite its small size, it covers both unbalanced and balanced outputs. The AP80 Pro-X is a pocket-sized music player (DAP). It's about the size of a credit card, yet its compact body houses both a 3.5mm single-ended jack and a 2.5mm balanced jack. With its convenient portable size and overwhelming audio performance, you won’t want to be without it.
X-shaped design showcasing geometric aesthetics
Aluminum unibody crafted with 5-axis CNC technology. The right side of the AP80 Pro-X features an X-shaped design with an angular diamond surface and a hexagonal snowflake shape embedding a Japanese-made ALPS volume wheel. Combining these elements provides a truly visually enjoyable experience from any angle.


Support for various lossless transmission protocols
The AP80 Pro-X supports bidirectional Bluetooth 4.2, HiBy UAT, Sony LDAC, and CSR APT-X. It functions as a Bluetooth audio source and as a professional Bluetooth DAC AMP.
* HiBy UAT is a Bluetooth audio codec supporting an industry-leading 192kHz sample rate.
* Sony LDAC supports up to 96kHz.
Make it the most practical audio device for everyday life.
The Hidizs AP80 Pro-X, when connected to a DAC AMP, functions as a Digital Audio Player (DAP), providing clearer and cleaner audio output quality. When connected to a smartphone or computer, it also serves as a powerful external DAC AMP that significantly enhances the original audio quality. Supported systems: macOS × 10.7, iPadOS, Windows XP, Windows 7/8/10 and later.
