XDA-2
Features
The XDA-2 is an audiophile quality two-channel PCM digital-to-analog converter (DAC).
The digitally controlled analog resistor ladder volume control, which doesn’t cause loss of
resolution even at low volume levels, also makes the XDA-2 an ideal “digital preamp” for
people who have only digital sources. The XDA-2 is the ultimate way to upgrade the sound
quality of almost any audio system that includes digital audio sources.
Features offered by the XDA-2 include:
• Three audiophile-quality components in one: USB DAC, digital preamp, and
high-current headphone amplifier.
