Internally, CODA's muscle is headlined by an ESS Professional Series SABRE DAC digital to analog converter with Hyperstream II modulation. Entering and exiting the filter menu is also guided by the LED, making the process easy to navigate. Depending on the connected device, the controls can provide up to 64-steps of attenuation, giving owners access to generous fine-tuning capabilities.Ī single color-changing LED relays general sample rate information (Blue = 48kHz or less, Green = greater than 48kHz, Magenta = MQA), but also changes colors when the volume controls are used to toggle through each of the three filter modes ( Blue = Linear phase fast roll-off, Green = Minimum phase slow roll-off, Magenta = Hybrid fast roll-off). Much like its robust body, CODA's side-mounted volume controls feel sturdy, relaying a confident "click" when depressed. The case's synthetic material falls short of a quality leatherette, though I suspect most users will ditch the case and transport CODA using its USB cap as protection. The included carry case is functional but lacks the same level of sophistication as the gear it's designed to protect. The included USB adapter also features quality materials and construction, rounding out a package that satisfies its $300 price point. Its black aluminum body and removable cap are graced by a combination of smooth and brushed surfaces, embellished with beveled edges and etched logos, making for an aggressively elegant package.
While the packaging is rather utilitarian, its featured contents are nothing short of high-quality.ĬODA is sized slightly larger than a USB thumb drive, measuring 2.5" L x 0.9" W x 0.4" D, and weighs less than an ounce. The box houses a detailed user guide, a synthetic pill-shaped zipper case, CODA, and a flexible braided-cable USB-C to USB-A adapter. CODA ships in a standard hanger box made of paperboard, inked with quality product images and graphics.
