Thank you for choosing this Audiant DP32 DAC Preamplifier. We sincerely hope it provides you with many
years of music listening pleasure.
The Audiant DP32 is a fully balanced preamplifier incorporating a high resolution 32-bit/192kHz digital to
analogue converter (DAC). The DP32 can be used as a high-end stand-alone DAC with multiple digital
inputs when used in fixed output mode.
The DP32 includes eight inputs – two analogue inputs, including selectable balanced (XLR) and home
theatre loop; and six digital inputs, including AES/EBU and asynchronous 24-bit/192kHz USB; allowing
connection to almost all possible analogue or digital sources.
The asynchronous USB input employs re-clocking of the I
2
S digital audio bus to reduce jitter; as well as
two separate master clocks, for the 44.1kHz and 48kHz multiples of the input sample frequency, to avoid
jitter from synthesising the master clock.
These jitter reduction techniques, combined with the patented Hyperstream™ DAC architecture and Jitter
Eliminator of the ESS Technology Sabre
32
DAC chipset, eliminate jitter and provide the foundation for
accurate sound reproduction.
The Audiant DP32 was designed with today’s high definition landscape in mind – a fully balanced signal
path, high dynamic range and ultra-low distortion allows the superior detail, dynamics and transparency of
your high resolution music to be realised to its full potential.
Both analogue and digital sources sound exceptional, whether you’re using the balanced (XLR) analogue
inputs, an optical digital input or the asynchronous USB input; the Audiant DP32 presents the full benefit
and performance of your music system.
The Audiant DP32 DAC preamplifier is the perfect partner for the Perreaux Audiant 100p stereo power
amplifier. Whether as part of a complete Audiant system or as the preamplifier/DAC in your existing
system, the DP32 will reconnect you with your MUSIC.
Thank you for taking the time to read this manual; we do recommend you keep it for future reference.
