Mechanical Excellence and Masterful Craftsmanship
The Z1 Plus boasts a robust aluminum alloy housing that effectively protects against vibration, dust, and noise, ensuring superior sound quality in any environment. Its efficient fanless design keeps the CPU and system cool while no fan noise and minimizing electrical noise. Improved EMI absorption with a higher permeability (>120 @1MHz) further reduces internal digital circuit noise from components such as DRAM, CPU, SSD, network interface, and USB signals.
It features a cutting-edge cooling system that incorporates graphene material and a copper heatsink to dissipate heat from the CPU and SSD to the case. This innovative approach maintains a lower temperature, reducing internal noise and creating a spacious environment for optimal audio playback performance.
Rhein Z1 Plus’ EMI noise-filtering technology helps to reduce the noise:
Graphene Technology for Effective System Heat Dissipation
Copper Heatsink for Superior Cooling Performance
Premier Hardware Mainboard System
Z1 Plus is designed to elevate audio performance without any compromises. Building upon the hardware development skills and expertise from the first Z1 series, the Z1 Plus delivers the best digital audio quality through fine-tuning and optimization.
