Our focus was to create an Audio Engine for Roon with zero-setup. In this way the 'passage' on USB is skipped, avoid any losses in sound quality.ДЇurthermore, proprietary circuits have been developed in the output FPGA, in order to implement the S/PDIF, AES/EBU and Dual-AES outputs. This is an important point: in fact, during the listening tests, and also in the laboratory ones, we obtained the best results with the use of this architecture with a built-in LAN switch.ДЄlways having the sound result as an objective, LinQ does not use a USB interface: the output is on AQlink, the aqua I2S proprietary connection. Note that further isolation is guaranteed by the fact that one of the modules is a LAN switch, developed internally by aqua. The communication lines of each module with the network are galvanically isolated.

In addition to the optimization of the particular function, this architecture guarantees an exceptional possibility of future upgrades.

LinQ is a highly modular device, based on a series of completely independent units.Д®ach module performs a particular function, for which it is optimized.Д®ach module has its own dedicated power supply and plugs into a connector on the base platform of the device. This has required a considerable effort in terms of time and resources, but the result is immediately evident on first use. We prefer to use know-how developed in-house, for a number of reasons in respect the aqua SQ standards.

The new LinQ was created following a precise idea.ДЇast and standard technical solutions do not belong to the aqua philosophy.ДЄqua has developed an extremely streamlined long-life platform and network bridge modules focused on audio playback functions.
