Audiophile DAC with AK4499EX and AK4191

The LORDWORLD Q100 is a streaming audio DAC built around flagship AK4499EX and AK4191 conversion chips, supported by XMOS XU316 and QCC5125 processors. It targets listeners who want transparent playback of high-resolution files up to PCM 768kHz/32-bit and native DSD512. The unit also serves desktop users needing a clean digital front-end for headphones or active monitors.

Multiple digital inputs and dual analogue outputs

Connect sources via USB-C, AES/EBU, optical, coaxial or Bluetooth 5.1 with LDAC and aptX-HD. A hardware switch selects UAC 1.0 for plug-and-play compatibility with consoles such as PS5 and Switch, or UAC 2.0 for full-resolution audio on Windows, Mac and Linux. Both balanced XLR and single-ended RCA outputs are active simultaneously, feeding two systems without re-cabling.

Measured transparency under continuous playback

The design achieves a signal-to-noise ratio of 124 dB and THD+N as low as 0.0002%, maintaining low distortion during extended listening sessions. Six PCM and two DSD filter modes let you tailor the sound signature, while the OLED display shows status at a glance. Buyers who require built-in amplification or analogue inputs will need separate components.

Questions about this item

What sustained-use limit appears first on the AK4499EX and AK4191 DAC stage?

The DAC stage handles PCM up to 768 kHz at 32-bit and native DSD512 continuously without downsampling.

How much heat or noise does the Q100 produce when running all day?

The unit has no fan and its solid-state design runs silently, so audible noise and noticeable heat stay negligible during extended sessions.

Which source device or cable must I already own to use the balanced outputs?

You need an amplifier or active speakers with XLR inputs and a pair of XLR cables to take advantage of the simultaneous balanced outputs.
