Their Story & Philosophy
Nestled in the serene woodlands of The Netherlands, Pink Faun began with a belief: digital playback can, with art and science, evoke the emotional engagement of vinyl or reel-to-reel. By designing their hardware and software alongside, they treat digital sources as analogue components steeped in musicality, a rare, immersive blend. Their products are handcrafted, award-winning, and built upon a minimalistic, noise--conscious philosophy.
Signature Technology: Engineering for Musical Purity
Pink Faun OS
Entirely in-house, lightweight, and purpose-built to prioritize sound over overhead. It minimizes electrical noise, maximizes system stability, optimizes data pathways, and integrates seamlessly with Roon.
Ultra OCXO Clocks
Oven-controlled crystal oscillators delivering phase noise better than –130 dB @ 10 Hz offset, across frequencies like 20 MHz, 24 MHz, 24.576 MHz, and 25 MHz. Precision timing, inherently quiet and jitter-free.
Star-Light Power Architecture
In the top-flight 2.16 ultra, fully linear, passively cooled power supplies with multiple isolated regulators, custom-wound transformers, >800,000 µF low-ESR capacitors, chokes, and supercapacitors all arranged with star grounding for supreme electrical integrity.
Mechanical & Thermal Integrity
CNC-machined chassis, honeycomb-stiffer motherboard platters, resonance-controlled compartments, and meticulous shielding ensure vibration and thermal interference are vanquished.
Ultra USB Bridge
A masterpiece bridging digital to DACs via USB with a 20,000,000 µF supercapacitor supply, billet-aluminum CNC shield, the ultra OCXO clock, custom PCB layout, and ≤40 µV rms noise from 10 Hz to 100 kHz.
