The HELM BOLT - the HD Digital Analog Converter & amplifier w/ full MQA Stream unfolding. Bring studio quality audio to your phone, computer, or mobile device.
When trying to enjoy music on your smartphone, you’re never really sure about the quality of audio stream you’re listening to.
When it comes to online streaming the name of the game is how much bandwidth it takes to reach your phone, audio quality is a distant priority to data. And you’ve heard about data compression and lossy codecs, right?
But amazing streaming audio is not the stuff of flying cars or just for 1%’ers.
HELM Audio wants to make studio quality sound accessible to everyone on your favorite Mobile device. It’s actually pretty simple; when this little light turns magenta you can be certain you’re experiencing the BEST possible streaming audio quality available, and you’re hearing a mix EXACTLY as the artists and engineers intended.
It’s literally Master Quality Authenticated, or MQA, being rendered on the HELM BOLT.
The HELM BOLT is an amazing sounding High-End Digital Analog Converter with a USB-C input and a headphone output, loaded with technology to properly unfold an MQA audio stream from services like Tidal, Nugs, & Xiami.
MQA technology “folds” HD audio masters into streaming-friendly file sizes, and the HELM BOLT “unfolds” the stream back into the same high quality audio as it was originally mixed.
That little magenta light is proof - it only lights up when an MQA stream is rendering. How does it sound? In one word - amazing.
Mix layers that were masked and murky with traditional streaming detangle with precision and clarity with MQA. You’ll hear transients without the blurry pre-ringing we’ve all accepted as inevitable in streaming. Some of the world’s most awarded audio engineers have said MQA brings the listener in to the recording studio.
Beyond MQA, the HELM BOLT is an amazing Digital Analog Converter AC that can support HD Audio playback with sampling rates as high as 384 kHz, and DSD rates up to 5.6 MHz. The HELM Bolt loves your HD audio FLAC or WAV files and can handle playback - with ultra low crosstalk and distortion, certified by THX.
The HELM BOLT - studio quality sound from streaming or a no compromise DAC for HD audio, all from your mobile device.
Try a HELM and hear what you’ve been missing.
