This fantastic-sounding 2-channel DAC is built upon the Twisted Pear Audio board, with the lauded ESS Sabre 9018 chip. In addition to converting CDs at the standard 44.1khz 16 bit, it will convert 24 bit 96 kHz hi-rez files, although I've never done it.
The components in this DAC are first class. The output section uses the high quality Jena Labs wire. Unbalanced RCA output jacks are Eichmann copper. Balanced XLR outputs are Neutrik. This DAC was produced by a well-regarded boutique Canadian builder Fallen Angel.
There is a single digital BNC input, with a COAX adapter; that's how I ran it.
The sound quality is stunning, rivaling the best DACs at any price.
The dimensions are 32 cm x 32 cm x 9 cm. Unit weighs over 8 lbs. There are some minor imperfections on the sides of the fascia, and a bump on the top left corner of face plate, not very noticeable, but I wanted to mention everything for the buyer. You will NOT be disappointed in the sound!
$395 includes postage in the USA.
