Balanced R2R DAC NOS I2S

Musician Draco DAC R2R Symétrique NOS I2S

The Musician Draco is a fully balanced, high end R2R DAC with high quality components. Versatile thanks to its complete connectivity, it can also work in NOS (Non Over Sampling) mode to avoid the artifacts that can be generated by oversampling.

An incredible balanced R2R DAC

The Musician Draco's R2R architecture provides fast, high-quality decoding, combined with low digital noise for maximum distortion and extremely low noise floor. Combined with the specially developed Draco digital filters, the DAC is able to provide a dynamic, rich and natural sound reproduction.

A particularly complete connectivity

Le Musician Draco se dote d'un panel de connectique étendue afin de répondre à tous les besoins et tous les types d'intégrations. On y retrouve ainsi, du côté des entrées numériques, de l'I2S via HDMI, de l'USB-B, de l'AES symétrique, du Coaxial et de l'Optique Toslink. La sortie se fait elle, au choix, en RCA asymétrique ou XLR symétrique.

It is not recommended to connect the XLR and RCA outputs simultaneously. This could degrade the sound quality as the outputs are shared.

It is recommended to use the XLR output to take full advantage of the balanced structure of the DAC.

High-end components

Powerful, the Draco is able to process data quickly and efficiently, thanks to an Altera Cyclone FPGA and a high-performance ARM STM32F446 CPU.

Optimized linear power supply

The Musician Draco's linear power supply stage features an O-Core transformer. The linear regulator effectively isolates the digital and analog parts to ensure low noise and stable voltage for the DAC.

I2S Pinout

The Musician Draco has been designed to offer broad compatibility via its I2S input, with phase adjustment accessible as follows:

  1. Select the I2S-A1 or I2S-A2 input.
  2. Press and hold the NOS button for 3 seconds until the I2S indicator light flashes.
  3. Press the PHASE button to navigate through the 8 phase modes.
  4. The Draco will automatically exit this setup menu after 5 seconds of inactivity.

Préférant le son vinyle, la technologie R2R me réconcilie enfin avec la musique numérique.
Sortie branchée en RCA sur mon ampli hybride, le son est précis, très équilibré, naturel et rempli l’espace de la pièce, contrairement à mon dac ESS Sabre précédent.

Je n’ai pas vraiment compris la différence avec le grand frère Pegasus, j’avais lu sur un comparatif anglophone qu’il est très difficile d’entendre les différences. Peut-être au niveau du DSD, Musician restant visiblement flou sur les spécifications DSD du Draco.

Je l’utilise principalement avec un transport CD Audio Note révisé par mes soins ou un Macbook avec Qobuz .

(Attention pas de télécommande, c’est un dac et rien d’autre!)

En tous cas, à ce prix, il est impossible de se tromper en vu de la qualité de fabrication et du son.

Merci Audiophonics !
