Audiolab M-DAC+ High Performance DAC – Black

• Black
• High-Performance, Multi-Purpose Digital-to-Analogue Converter (DAC)
  • It Incorporates A Highly Specified, Audiophile-Quality Digital Preamplifier & Class A Output Stage For Connection To A Power Amp & Speakers (The Input Can Also Be Fixed For Those Who Wish To Use An Existing Preamp or Integrated Amp), In Addition To A High-Quality Output For Headphone Use
• The Finest DAC Circuitry
  • Incorporates The ESS9018 Sabre Reference 32-Bit DAC Chipset, Still Widely Regarded As The Finest Available
  • This Is Surrounded By Exceptionally Well-Specified Circuitry That Puts Other Similarly Priced DACs To Shame, Including A Proprietary, Discrete Master Clock To Minimise Jitter, Coupled With Extensive Time Domain Isolation
  • A JFET Class A Output Stage Ensures That The Audio Signal, Following Conversion From The Digital Domain To Analogue, Is Of The Highest Quality
• High Performance with DSD
  • The M-DAC+ Now Processes Audio Data Up To 32-Bit/384kHz Via USB; This Is A Far Higher Specification Than That Required By Current Hi-Res Music Formats, Ensuring This New, Premium-Quality Addition To The M-DAC Family Is Fully Equipped For Future Advances In Ultra-High-Definition Digital Sound
  • The USB Input Now Also Accepts DSD Files, Offering Compatibility with DSD64, DSD128 & DSD256. This Is A Significant Addition, As DSD Has An Important Role To Play In The Developing High-Resolution Digital Download Scene
• Adjustable Sound For All Sources & Tastes
  • As Digital Audio Technology Has Progressed, The Importance Of The Characteristics Of Reconstruction Digital Filters Has Become More Appreciated
  • The M-DAC+ Features User-Selectable Filters For Optimum Listening & Measurement Modes, In Addition To More Conventional Types For Easy Comparison
  • These Filter Settings Allow The User To Tune Performance To Suit Their Preference, Depending On System Configuration, Digital File Quality & Musical Taste
  • The M-DAC+ Has 7 Filter Settings For PCM Files & Has 4 For DSD Playback, Allowing The User To Optimise The Noise Floor To Suit The Performance Of The Source File & The Bandwidth Of Associated Equipment Such As Amps & Speakers
• Enhanced Sonic Performance
  • Upgraded Power Supply Which Is Now Housed Within The M-DAC+’s Chassis
  • A Precision-Wound Toroidal Transformer Uses Multiple Windings To Feed Separate Analogue & Digital Rectification Stages
  • From There, Multiple Power Supply Sections Feed The Necessary Voltages To Each Area Of The DAC, Keeping Any Crossover Interference To A Minimum
  • The Result Is The Highest Performance Power Supply Audiolab Engineers Have Yet Specified For A DAC, & Its Contribution To The M-DAC+’s Enhanced Sonic Performance Is Significant
