DAART Canary DAC USB XMOS DSD ES9018K2M 32bit Headphone out class A Silver

The DAART DAART Canary USB 32 bit 384Khz represents the new generation of audiophile converters with a powerful headphone output in discrete components. Equipped with a ES9018K2Mthe DAART Canary has 3 digital inputs for decoding all high-definition stereo signals up to DSD DOP 64/128 and PCM 384Khz (USB).

the technological advantages of this CAD are many:

• USB interface XMOS U8 and converter 32bit SABER ES9018K2M
• Audiophile precision potentiometer
• CLC-Type Conversion Filter
• DAC reference voltage separated by low-voltage voltage regulator LDO
• Double clocks 22 and 24mHZ
• 5 separate LDO control groups for each voltage
• Headphone Amplifier with JFET Class A Transistor
• Aluminum housing

An analog output of very high quality:

The DAART canary USB digital converter features the latest generation of high-precision (rail to rail) OPA1688at high current. They allow a high dynamics and are particularly adapted to the high resolution sound of 32bit DACs. In addition, the current stage voltage at the output of DAC comprises ADA 4075 with very low noise.

Main Features :

• Digital inputs : SPDIF / Optical Toslink compatible PCM 24bit 192KHz
• Digital Input USB compatible Native DSD64 / 128 / PCM 16-32bit, 32-384KHZ.
• Headphone output with high impedance input and JFET class A transistor.
• RCA Stereo Outputs
• Aluminum housing and feet.

Warning !Analog RCA outputs are fixed and non-variable.

USB Compatibility:

• Windows 7/8/10, MAC OS10X, Linux, Android
• Warning this DAC is not compatible Apple iOS
