YBA VIBE P1
Proprietary R2R DAC with 126 Precision Resistors
The VIBE P1 comes with YBA's new proprietary R2R DAC, featuring 126 high-precision resistors and operating in a 19+5 bit architecture. This design delivers a natural, analog-like sound signature that sets it apart from conventional delta-sigma DACs. The R2R module works in harmony with the dedicated amplifier stage to preserve the integrity of the original recording, offering a pure and engaging listening experience for discerning headphone users.
Dedicated Headphone Amplifier Circuit
The VIBE P1 is accompanied by a dedicated headphone amplifier circuit utilizing two ADA4610 and four BUF434A chips, providing low-impedance and high-power output. This configuration is ideally suitable for both sensitive earphones and audiophile headphones. While the VIBE P1 runs fully on its internal battery, a second USB port was added for External Power Mode to deliver even more power for more demanding full-size headphones.
Portable Premium Hi-Fi Design
Combining compact dimensions of just 93 × 65 × 14mm with a very low weight of only 120g, the VIBE P1 fits perfectly on the back of smartphones for ideal on-the-go use. The durable aluminium chassis is paired with a front glass panel and a 2.23-inch screen, following the design approach from YBA's classic Signature and Genesis models. For users asking for extra protection, a PU Leather case is available, sold separately.
USB & Coaxial Input Flexibility
Featuring a special USB M1 input chip, the VIBE P1 delivers smooth and top-quality digital communication between the DAC and the connected smartphone or computer. With the provided RCA to USB-C cable adapter, the VIBE P1 can also be used as a DAC with classic S/PDIF coaxial digital sources, such as CD players or Hi-Fi streamers. This dual-input design ensures compatibility with both modern and traditional audio systems.
On-Device Settings and Parametric EQ
The inclusion of a 2.23-inch screen allows for access to a range of settings directly on the DAC, like quick changes between NOS and OS modes and highlighting YBA's newly introduced Parametric EQ system. This new PEQ feature provides further customizability demanded by headphone users, with easy setup over a web Chrome interface or the dedicated Eddict Player app on Android devices.
VIBE Series — A New Line for Personal Audio
The YBA P1 is the first model of the VIBE series, a new range of models focusing on personal audio, aimed at headphone users, smaller desktop setups, and the portable Hi-Fi market. What started with the YBA Design One has now evolved into its own dedicated line of YBA models, standing alongside the Design and Signature series. The VIBE P1 represents the beginning of this exciting new chapter.
