aluminum matches iPhone metals
with a builtin high quality digital to analog converter, the sound becomes better quality than CDs with 24 bits at 192 kHz. what this does, is offer crystal clear sound without distortion even when the volume is at 100%. to match simple design of iPhones and other smartphones, the ‘aqua’ is CNC machined from aluminum sheets that are durable and weather resistant. the team is currently looking for funding on kickstart and plan on shipping the nexum ‘aqua’ in november 2015.
