    All-in-one Module SEM3
                
                SEM3 is an Interchangeable All-in-One module for the SE180 
                Shape your Sound with the ESS ES9038Q2M Quad DAC SEM3 
                Give your SE180 a different sound than the bundled module 
                SEM3 supports up to 32bit/768kHz / Native DSD512
            
Next Generation Advanced AMP Technology
                Next generation AMP technology is also applied in the SEM3 all-in-one module. 
From the selection of OP-AMP parts, to circuit design, board layout and tuning, 
everything has been completely redesigned to produce the best sound.
            
Circuit Separation Structure of Main Body and Module
            By physically separating the main body from the All-in-One module,
            we completely block power and RF noise that may occur from the main body.
            This creates an independent structure that prevents noise from interfering with music playback.
            Balanced and unbalanced signals are separated for each channel to provide the best possible sound
            through independent circuit design without interference.
            
            The SEM3 is equipped with four ES9038Q2M DACs, this allows two DACs per channel for dedicated decoding.
            The SEM3 achieves a more detailed and balanced sound with great depth and spatial realism.
