DAC-1v2
DAC v2 Series
Based on our immensely popular, multi-award-winning original DAC-1 and -2 series, our new DAC v2 series is like an upgraded "classic". At the heart of the v2 series are all-new ESS Sabre PRO chips. These new chips offer many significant improvements over their predecessors including higher SNR, more filters and the latest iterartion of ESS' HyperStreamDAC technology. Additionally, the new v2 series will feature fully-balanced circuitry, hi-res PCM and 4x DSD-capability, upgraded architecture and updated casework with a new color: anthracite gray.
DAC-1v2
The DAC-1v2 sports the new ESS Sabre 9026PRO chip, regarded as one of the best price-to-performance DAC chips in the industry. Play high-res PCM files up to 32 bit/384 kHz as well as 4xDSD files via the galvanically isolated USB input. Add to that our proprietary discrete output stages, a hefty, balanced power supply, automatic oversampling for precise output filtering and all the necessary inputs and outputs to accommodate any digital source. The DAC-1v2 is the new standard-bearer for cutting-edge design at an affordable price.
