DITA Audio Perpetua Flagship IEM

Perpetua is DITA’s 2022 Dream-Class, flagship product. A celebration of 10 years of DITA. It is a self-examination of what it means to evolve and mature as a brand born out of a love of sound and music, and a desire to execute these to perfection.

A period of play and exploration inspired DITA to create a bigger, bolder sound signature that remains
clearly DITA.

This was a near-impossible task without increasing the diameter of DITA's famed dynamic driver from 10mm to 12mm. The new PPT-D driver platform marks the beginning of a refreshed house sound.

One that’s moving, immersive, and human regardless of the playback volume.

The PPT-D sits in an acoustic chamber of titanium specially optimized for its size and function. Maximizing both the 12mm driver’s potential and the metal’s sonic qualities. A continuation of the tuned acoustic concept used in earlier products such as the XLS.

Since the introduction of the Answer Truth Edition, DITA has always worked with specialty audio cable manufacturers to produce one-of-a-kind collaborations that elevate the enthusiast’s experience.

The Coil/Over cable uses Length Specific Geometry: Utilising varying lengths of signal and return paths to reject micro interference.

While difficult to design, it is even more difficult to produce. The nonlinear positive and negative signal leads are arranged in a coil-over construction of 6mm pitch. Resulting in a unique, “wheat-ear” like appearance that aims to reduce noise and distortion.

DITA is honoured to have Kondo Audionote Japan, one of the pre-eminent figures of silversmithing in traditional HiFi, onboard the Perpetua project as the provider for its internal wiring.

Perpetua's Internal wiring uses Kondo Audionote Japan’s signature 99.99% pure silver. Aged and annealed in a highly secretive process, then carefully drawn into strands and soldered at an optimal temperature onto the respective contacts.

This also marks the first time Kondo Audionote Japan makes its silver available to the world of personal audio.

Perpetua's bass is warm, enveloping, and bigger than ever thanks to the implementation of DITA's new 12mm PPT-D Driver. Starting and stopping on a dime but with a much more natural decay with no artificial mid-bass hump. Imbuing a greater musicality to the Perpetua’s sound signature and allowing for more intricate details to shine through, even on the lower end of the sound spectrum.

Being the frequency band where most major instruments and vocal melodies reside, the mid-range can get congested easily. Perpetua delivers a mid-range sound that is spacious, layered and well-imaged - guiding the listener in savouring the littlest nuances, even in tracks they are familiar with.

High frequencies are airy and well-extended. Bringing a sense of well-defined, high-definition imaging to the Perpetua's sound in an effortless manner, tying the Perpetua’s presentation together.

DITA released the original interchangeable Awesome Plug alongside the Truth Cable in 2015. In that time, it has inspired waves of interchangeable plug designs.

Perpetua will naturally be equipped Awesome Plug Version 2 - an improved version of the beloved Awesome plug with a sleeker silhouette, reducing the strain on your source's output jack. The APV2's redesign also accommodates a greater variety of esoteric cables.

Perpetua’s 2-pin female socket is designed to integrate better with 2-pin aftermarket cables. Most aftermarket cables will fit into the well of the Perpetua’s 2-pin socket. For a better fit and more visual coherency.

Born from DITA's practice of taking inspiration from forms in real life, made possible by modern 3D prototyping and CNC technologies. Perpetua's rounder, more organic chassis is re-designed for a more comfortable fit. The design is at once, DITA, but softer, rounder and more importantly, more comfortable.

Perpetua’s packaging features a vibrant material palette of metals, paper, and leather. Reminiscent of a tin of letters and memories.

The Keepsake box contains a minimalist round, metal quasi airlocked hard canister and a soft pouch made of genuine leather, for easy storage and carry. As well as commemorative metal clips to keep your documents in order.

Everything we would want to encapsulate in an anniversary product.
