5. Advanced Features
5.1 HiFi Audio Architecture
The Littlewhite neckband is engineered with a Qualcomm flagship Bluetooth master control chip QCC5144 and a CS43131 DAC. This architecture supports high bit rate transmission protocols and provides ample processing power for sound quality optimization and lossless transmission.
5.2 LHDC Bluetooth HiFi Audio Transmission Protocol Support
The Littlewhite supports the LHDC HiFi Bluetooth audio transmission protocol. When connected to a mobile phone compatible with LHDC, it offers lossless Bluetooth audio transmission, delivering sound quality beyond standard CD levels.

5.5 VDSF Targeted Headphone Optimization
This function optimizes the sound for compatible MOONDROP active in-ear headphones. It compensates the headphones to the VDSF Target Response through DSP digital signal processing, improving the balance and restoration of the audio. VDSF Target Response is a frequency response curve based on HRTF (head related transfer function) and B&K HATS diffusion, aiming for an ideal room preference curve.

5.6 Parametric Equalization (PEQ)
Parametric Equalization (PEQ) allows for precise adjustment of frequency, amplitude, and bandwidth (Q value) of multiple bands. This feature facilitates detailed customization of the headphone's frequency response to suit individual preferences.
