MuseHiFi Introduces Muse 300: World’s First Desktop DAC/Amp with an OS
We at Muse HiFi are thrilled to redefine the desktop audio scene with our latest innovation: the all-new MUSE 300. This feature-rich desktop DAC and headphone amplifier shatters traditional boundaries with an incredible new operating system. Yes, you read that right—we have developed a brand-new, independent OS exclusively for the MUSE 300. This custom OS delivers impressive sonic excellence, entirely free from the limitations and bottlenecks of Android or other standard operating systems.
We’ve packed a flagship ES9039 Ultra DAC chipset into a fully balanced architecture that promises unparalleled sonic precision. The MUSE 300 also houses a vibrant 5” display that brings three intuitive UI themes to suit every desk. Supporting versatile wired inputs alongside high-definition Bluetooth wireless transmission protocols, the MUSE 300 delivers a reliable, accurate, and deeply immersive listening experience.

The World’s First DAC/AMP with a Dedicated Audio Operating System
The real showstopper is our revolutionary MUSE OS, a major breakthrough that moves desktop audio far past traditional, boring digital text screens. Instead of taking the easy route with a heavy Android platform, our team spent three years building a highly custom, deeply optimized operating system centered around a powerful 32-bit MCU controller. Boasting over 200 top-level MCU interfaces, MUSE OS is faster, cleaner, and strictly built for audio.
Hardware-Based Sound Tuning: Balanced, Tube, and ACG
Beyond its stunning software, the MUSE 300 maintains stable and incredibly clean operation through hardware-level audio tweaking and premium power delivery. It features three built-in, zero-latency sound styles implemented via lossless analog circuit switching to preserve absolute dynamics without digital artifacts:
-
Balanced: Delivers a natural sound with punchy bass and crisp instruments, suitable for most genres.
-
Tube: Utilizes advanced tuning functions to replicate classic tube warmth with rich mid-bass, dense vocals, and smooth presentation—perfect for vocal-centric genres like Pop.
-
ACG: Tuned for energetic, lively sound with upfront vocals and quick transients, making it ideal for anime and gaming enthusiasts.
Three Distinctive UI Themes & Customization
Personalize your interface by choosing between three distinct UI themes: Cyberpunk (vibrant and futuristic with neon theme), Minimalist (clean and simple but intuitive), and ACG (tailored for anime fans, also vibrant). Navigating this interactive system is completely effortless thanks to a tactile, one-touch multi-function control knob that lets you manage every setting with ease.
5” Vibrant Display & Intuitive One-Button Control
We’ve stripped away the intimidating complexity of standard HiFi equipment by consolidating power, volume, input, and mode selection into a single, intuitive button, removing the need to navigate frustrating menus. The generous 5-inch (480x854 IPS) display beautifully showcases your audio playback and can even serve as a practical secondary monitor for your workstation. Going beyond standard displays, you can upload custom images to create a completely personalized screensaver, be it family photos, favorite characters, or stunning artwork.
Flagship Performance: ES9039 Ultra DAC & 4th Gen HyperStream® IV
We engineered the MUSE 300 to offer a true flagship audio experience. We equipped it with a fully balanced DAC and amplifier architecture, utilizing the advanced ES9039 Ultra flagship DAC with fourth-generation HyperStream® IV architecture, paired with high-performance OPA1612x2 LPF and dual TP6120AX2 amplifier modules. This fully differential processing achieves massive power, pumping out up to 2200mW of clean thrust via the 4.4mm balanced output, while keeping crosstalk and distortion exceptionally low (0.0006% THD+N). A three-level gain mode ensures a perfect match for everything from sensitive IEMs to demanding full-sized headphones.
Seamless Bluetooth V5.4 Connectivity
The MUSE 300 houses a premium QCC3095 Bluetooth chip enabling Bluetooth V5.4. Running dual 240MHz Kalimba DSPs, it supports high-resolution codecs like aptX Lossless, LDAC, and Snapdragon Sound technology, allowing you to feed HiFi signals to the MUSE 300 entirely wirelessly.
Custom Power Supply for Absolute Signal Purity
Recognizing that clean power is the foundation of exceptional audio, we collaborated with international power supply manufacturers to design a custom adapter loaded with 50 low-ripple power transformers tailored specifically for HiFi gear. This drastically minimizes noise and delivers a pristine sonic background. To ensure you can experience this pure sound anywhere in the world right out of the box, we include four standard AC power cables (US, UK, AU, and EU).
Comprehensive Input & Output Options
The back panel offers extensive input options including USB, Coaxial, Optical, and Bluetooth, alongside dedicated line-outs via XLR and RCA ports. For headphone connectivity, 6.35mm and 4.4mm ports are conveniently located on the side.
The MUSE 300 is a beautifully engineered powerhouse ready to become the centerpiece of your desktop setup. Stay tuned with us for more updates as we approach our June 25th launch!
