– The volume rocker is edge mounted to enable a quick volume change with just one finger. All interfaces located on the same side for clutter free routing. Tiny, flexible cable interconnects for pocketability.
– Kitty is plug-and-play with Mac (OSX 10.6.4+), PC (Windows 10.0.15+), iOS (10.3.3+) or Android (6.0.1+)making it one of the easiest ways to bring your digital audio files to life. Earlier Windows versions are supported via provided driver.
– Kitty has a lowest degree of obsolescence vs. investment among its rivals due to modularity. ES9018Q2C, ES9038Q2M from ESS Technology, AK4452VN from Asahi Kasei Microdevices and CS43198 from Cirrus Logic available for pre-order with more coming in 2018.
