Affordable Reference Class DAC Designed For Studio Professionals
Introduction
With its AES and XLR outputs and decoding capability of PCM 384K & DSD256, the
NuPrime DAC-9 is a reference-class DAC designed for studio professionals. With four
digital and one analog stereo inputs, the DAC-9 is a full-featured DAC and preamp ideally
suited for high-end systems.
A Reference LE Class Preamp
To meet the requirement of customers who want to eliminate extra components in their
system, a high-end preamp capable of driving the power amplifier directly is an essential
part of the design. The DAC-9 includes features borrowed from traditional high-end
preamps:
•
Advanced, FPGA implemented switched-resistor ladder network for controlling
volume, i.e., a single resistor in the signal path at any volume setting.
•
Individually adjustable volume on each input for precise source level matching.
•
Volume adjustment in 99 precise, 0.5dB increments.
The Heart
As the heart of an audio system, the DAC-9 supports an extensive number of inputs and
formats. Utilizing one of the world’s best performing 32-bit audio DACs, the AK4490, EQ is
only a first step for designing the ultimate DAC. State-of-the-art solutions, readily
available to all vendors, along with the experience and proprietary know-how in creating
many Editor’s Choice and Product of The Year award-winning products elevate the
NuPrime DAC-9 well above the competition.
Several notable features:
•
NuPrime SRC IC chip provides FPGA processing where Input signals are up-sampled
to mega hertz before down converted to the targeted sampling rate with ultra-low
jitter and distortion.
•
AKM Newest Generation: High Sound Quality Premium 32-bit Stereo DAC (AK4490
EQ). State-of-the-art DAC with warmer sonic characteristics, supporting USB PCM
384 and DSD256.
•
A proprietary NuPrime implementation that is also capable of decoding DoP
formats via coaxial and optical inputs (to support NuPrime Omnia portable device
that are able to output DoP stream in addition to S/PDIF).
•
NuPrime vibration-free isolation feet (patent pending*)
•
Extension port for Bluetooth dongle and WiFi audio streaming (optional)
•
Full microprocessor control with memory retention
