【Important Notice for International Buyers – Tomoayax Premium Audio Hi-Fi Japan】
■ Voltage Compatibility
This product is designed exclusively for use in Japan (AC 100V, 50/60Hz).
Many regions use 120V or 220–240V.
Using this product without a proper transformer in such voltage environments may result in malfunction, overheating, or serious and irreversible damage.
■ Plug Type
This product uses a Japanese plug (Type A or B).
A plug adapter may be required depending on your region.
■ Transformer Requirement (Very Important)
A transformer is required for safe use.
A plug adapter only changes the plug shape and DOES NOT convert voltage.
Using this product without a transformer may cause serious and irreversible damage.
■ Buyer Responsibility
As this is high-end audio equipment, the buyer is fully responsible for confirming compatibility with their local voltage (100V / 120V / 220–240V) and usage environment before purchase.
■ No Return / No Refund Policy
We do NOT accept returns or refunds for:
・Voltage mismatch (including 120V and 220–240V environments)
・Use without a transformer
・Plug incompatibility
・Damage caused by improper setup or usage
■ Liability
We are not responsible for any damage, malfunction, or performance issues caused by improper use or incorrect voltage conditions.
■ Final Notice
Please ensure full understanding of the above before purchasing.
Use only under the correct voltage environment.
An innovative dual-DAC architecture condenses two "sound philosophies" into one unit: This is the core design philosophy of the Q1, embodying two different worldviews in a single device. The ESS9039 is characterized by a clear and analytical sound image, while the AK4493 is known for its rich harmonics and warm musical expression. Not only can you switch between them instantly with the buttons on the front or the remote control, but you can also independently select digital filters for each chip. Furthermore, you can assign different DAC chips to the line output (RCA/TRS) and headphone output, allowing for advanced customization to enjoy completely different sound quality simultaneously with your speaker system and headphones.
Unleash the potential of any audio source with ultra-high-resolution playback that surpasses studio quality: Utilizing the latest XMOS XU316 USB audio controller, it supports ultra-high-resolution playback via PCM 768kHz/32bit and native DSD512, covering almost all commercially available sources. With measurable, extremely low distortion and noise characteristics of SINAD ≥ 113dB and THD+N 0.0002%, it reproduces the finest details and vast dynamic range of recordings without loss. Bluetooth 5.2 supports the aptX HD codec, achieving high-quality lossless sound even in wireless environments. Optical and coaxial inputs are also included, allowing for seamless integration with existing players and game consoles.
Eleven expressive displays to delight your eyes: The Q1 is meticulously designed not only for auditory enjoyment but also for visual presentation. In addition to the basic mode that displays the operating status, it features a total of 11 display modes. From a classic style where the needles of the analog VU meter dance in time with the rhythm, to audio spectra, spinning records, and tape recorder reels, a variety of visuals add immersion and playfulness to your listening environment. The display brightness can be adjusted in 10 steps. The RGB full-color LED lighting can also be customized in 256 steps, making it a beautiful presence as a desk accessory.
With an extremely rich array of inputs and outputs and a high-output headphone amplifier, this device maximizes system configuration flexibility: absolutely no compromises have been made in terms of connectivity. Inputs include four types: USB-C (UAC1.0/2.0 compatible), Bluetooth 5.2, optical digital, and coaxial digital. Outputs include two unbalanced RCA terminals and two balanced TRS terminals, allowing simultaneous driving of a total of four amplifiers or powered speakers. The headphone output has a built-in high-output amplifier with a maximum output of 1000mW (32Ω) and a two-stage gain switch (High/Low) to drive all headphones optimally, from sensitive IEMs to high-impedance headphones up to 600Ω.
The ultimate in sound tuning: replaceable op-amps and comprehensive control functions: The analog stage op-amps, which are the heart of sound shaping, use four LME49720s as standard, and are implemented in replaceable sockets. By simply removing the top glass window, you can easily replace them with your preferred dual op-amps such as the OPA2604 or MUSES02, allowing for final fine-tuning of the tone. In addition, it includes a full-function remote control, 12V trigger output, Bluetooth connection reset function, and other functions that consider convenience and system integration. Visual and functional perfect harmony with the Ampapa D1 integrated amplifier has also been pursued.
The Ampapa Q1 is an innovative dual DAC converter equipped with two high-performance DAC chips: the ESS9039 and the AK4493. It allows for instant switching between the clear and analytical ESS9039 and the warm, musical AK4493, letting you select the sonic character that suits your preferences and genre. It supports PCM 768kHz/32bit and DSD512, achieving ultra-high-resolution playback. Utilizing an XMOS XU316 controller, it boasts excellent performance with THD+N 0.0002% and SNR ≥ 120dB, faithfully reproducing even the finest details of recordings. It features four inputs: USB-C, Bluetooth 5.2 (aptX-HD compatible), optical digital, and coaxial digital, as well as abundant outputs: RCA x 2 and TRS balanced x 2. The high-output headphone amplifier, with a maximum output of 1000mW (32Ω), supports a wide range of headphones from 16 to 600Ω. The design is visually appealing with 11 visualizer options and RGB lighting. Featuring interchangeable op-amp sockets, it allows for sound quality customization. As the core of your desktop audio system, it offers unparalleled flexibility and performance.
