Enermax also has a variant called the AP001E, which includes earphones that have 10 mm drivers, 95 dBA SNR, and 32 ohm impedance. The device features a 3.5 mm stereo jack and mic input.

It has a signal-noise ratio of 80~90 dBA, which is not much of a departure from most laptops' HDA CODECs, if it isn't for the MOSFET-based amplifier circuit packed into the DreamBass AP001, that's capable of 80Hz/+6dB Bass.

At the heart of it is a VIA VT1620A USB 2.0 2-channel HD audio CODEC, which provides stereo output with 24-bit resolution and 96 kHz sample-rate. It is designed to look like a vacuum tube that gives it a classy analog amp look. Enermax' entry into it is the DreamBass AP001, a 2-channel USB audio device. Hence there's a sizable market for USB audio devices that provide better audio for laptops. The cylindrical capacitors and FETs on PC motherboards are reduced to weaker surface-mount ones to conserve board space, on laptop logic boards. With the ever-shrinking laptops of today, space constrains mean that each component on the logic board has lesser board space, as is the case with audio.
