NATIV Native Wave

 

The Nativ Sound Nativ Wave is a DAC/ headphone
amplifier/ digital preamplifier. This Nativ Wave includes the nicer upgraded Walnut
wood desk stand ( $100 option ).

 The
box includes the Wave, Walnut stand, remote control, switching power supply, a
quick start user manual (another manual available online), and some USB cables
intended for connections to the optional upgraded Nativ PULSE power supply (not
included). You can use the NATIV app for input and volume control if you also
own the VITA. Otherwise, the remote control will have to do.

Check the Nativsound website for more
information - I included some info below.
