Mass production of MUSES series flagship operational amplifier “MUSES05” has begun

 Nisshinbo Micro Device (NJR) has begun mass production of high quality audio operational amplifier "MUSES05" , which is the flagship of high quality audio devices "MUSES" series.

General Description

 MUSES series are high grade and high quality audio special devices developed for audiophiles to provide "true sound" that faithfully reproduce the original sound and pursue the sound resonating with sensibilities.
 The MUSES05 is an audio special operational amplifier that can faithfully reproduce music information that could not be reproduced by conventional operational amplifiers and discrete amplifiers, and is specialized for enjoying music.
