Ultraslim High-Resolution Headphone Amplifier for Smartphones
Dear Khadas Community,
It is with great joy and anticipation that we announce the upcoming launch of our latest hi-fi audio product the ‘Tea’, an ultra-slim high-resolution headphone amplifier for smartphones. This portable amplifier features the high-performance ESS ES9281AC Pro DAC, as well as LDAC and aptX HD bluetooth audio via the Qualcomm QCC5125 chip.
Why Tea?
‘Tea’ was created to satisfy a high demand from our community for a “Portable Tone2 Pro”; many music streaming apps such as Spotify and Apple Music now have high-quality lossless music that can only be fully enjoyed when you connect a portable DAC such as the ‘Tea’ to your Android or iOS smartphone.
Freedom to Move
‘Tea’ can connect to your smartphone wirelessly via bluetooth audio with LDAC and aptX HD, or wired via a ‘USB-C to C’ or ‘USB-C to Lightning’ USB cables that are included in the box.
The ‘Tea’ DAC is thinner than an iPhone 13, but has a slight bump to accommodate the 3.5mm headphone jack, and the weight of this audio marvel is just 74 grams.
As our lives transform to become mobile, and we untether from our desks, ‘Tea’ gives you the freedom to go outdoors again; listen to your favourite lossless audio tracks whilst at the seaside, in a cafe, or just whilst out on a stroll in nature. Freedom to move in harmony with our music is like food for our collective souls.

Can we use it(= KHADAS Tea) with Tone 2 Pro(= connect to i2s)?
In the past, You have said that Tone 2 Pro could be used as the Bluetooth DAC with BT Magic...
I love any product that brings higher quality audio to more people. Everyone wins when there's an increased appetite for great sound. If Tea is anything like the Tone2 Pro in performance, this will be a winner.
This one is interesting for sure, please not just this color :)
