Why Ladybugs?

Smart devices have become the most popular and used electronic devices in our lives. We also love to carry our favorite musics and enjoy them during commuting, traveling, or even just while sitting back and relaxing in the sofa. 
So, why don't we deserve to have a Hi-Fi environment anytime and anywhere, just as easily as we use our smart devices? 
No heavy equipment, and no lousy cabling! 

The Ladybugs will give you the tiniest form factor but prime Hi-Fi listening experience, which your smart devices never do!


Bit-Perfect

No Up/Down Sampling by Software/Hardware!

Hints to enjoy the "Bit-Perfect" music:

  1. Use lossless audio source. Consider the limited storage size of mobile device, 16Bit/48KHz, or 24Bit/96KHz FLAC files are highly recommended.
  2. Use native 24Bit/96KHz player app like "USB Audio Player PRO" on Android, and "FLAC Player" on iOS.
  3. Definitely use Ladybug1 for most popular CD format, or Ladybug2 for Hi-Res 24Bit/96KHz format. Most importantly, with our design, they provide high volume output, and just consume few power from the mobile devices.

Android Phone with app "USB Audio Player PRO":

iOS Device with app "FLAC Player" (Camera Connection Kit Needed): 

Windows/MAC/Linux:


Ladybugs spec in detail:

*DAC Highlight: 

  ESS Sabre ES9023

  1. The higher input impedance of your headphone, the higher output voltage ES9023 delivered. Perfectly match with the premium headphones like Sennheiser's HD650, HD800, or Beyerdynamic's DT990, DT90, T1 etc.
  2. The audio signal goes straight out of the DAC chip and into headphone or amplifier.  There is no DC voltage to remove from the output of ES9023, which guarantee not only the widest audio bandwidth, but also the excellent sound quality.
  3. Patented Hyperstream(TM) architecture for Time Domain Jitter Eliminator.
  4. 112dB DNR/SNR

*Low Noise Design Highlight:

  1. The ultra low noise low drop voltage regulator used: Ultra Low Noise (<30uVrms) from 10Hz to 100KHz. High power-supply rejection ration (>70dB) from 10Hz to 10MHz.
  2. 1-oz copper, 4-layer PCB design with star-routing methodology for power trace routing.
  3. Low ESR capacitors used.
  4. High precision resistors used.
  5. Gold-plated 3.5mm audio jack used.
  6. Aluminum case used, to provide better noise immunity.

Where Ladybugs Are


What We Need

We have not just finished the proof of concept, but also hardware fabrication, and CNC mockup design. Now we need your support to go to the next critical stage- finishing the tooling design, and making the Ladybugs to be mass-produced.

About Us

Mosalink Inc., funded by 6 audiophiles with technology background, intends to develop the end-to-end digital audio streaming devices to provide not only the touch of the music, but also the convenience of the technologies at any time and any where.

We need your support to make Ladybugs flying!
