RD26 Owner’s Manual
Thank you for purchasing the AD LABS RD26 digital to analog converter. Our
goal is that the device will provide you many hours of listening pleasure due to it’s
high-performance package.
Don’t get fooled by the relatively small chassis. Inside the RD26 lies a high-
quality digital front-end featuring asychronous reclocking and upsampling, a top dac
chip and one of the most advanced wireless audio streaming technologies. Other
strong points are the dedicated headphone amplifier and our proprietary ultra low
noise power supply.
Equipped with these technologies, RD26 will offer a lot of user convenience.
AES/EBU and coaxial s/pdif inputs are partnered by a low-latency, extended range
high-performance wireless usb input. Single ended and balanced outputs are present
on the back panel, while a headphone output is present on the front. All these
outputs are volume-controlled, making possible a direct connection between RD26
and a power amplifier (thus using a preamplifier becomes optional in your system).
The user has access to a variety of 5 digital filter responses, it can change the
absolute phase of the signal and switch channels between them. A highly readable
center display will show the incoming sample rate of the signal and various data. An
optional remote is available to complete the RD26’s features.
All RD26 units are manufactured and tested at our local facility under strict
quality control. We hope that you will enjoy this product as much as we intended to.
