with RCA+XLR analog output, KT150 x 2 big power tube and 274B tube rectification
default : 6550 x 2 + 274B
(option:KT66/KT77/KT88/KT99/KT100/KT120/KT150/KT170/EL34/5881/6CA7/6L6/6G6/6Y6/6K6/6V6..as well as EL32 / CV1052..... and all those compatible tubes)
(Rectifier option: 5AR4, 5U4G, 5R4, 80, 180, 280.... and all compatibles, with 4 pin > 8 pin adapter can use 83, 300B...and all their compatibles)
This is a 512x DSD class DAC (can also take 64x native DSD, 128x DSD and 256x DSD) as well as 24/192 SPDIF input
Convert any music file format to 32bit 384Khz resolution via USB class 2 input.
Combined with the organic pure tube rectifer and big output tube section, easily convert the digital sound into analoge alike high-end vinyl MC cartridge playback quality, but with even better micro and macro dynamics with super low noise floor.
This might be the one of the best sounding DAC which work with big power tubes like
KT66, KT88, KT129, KT150, 6550, EL34....etc. This model even include top cap terminal for Mullard EL32 / CV1052 NOS tubes.
Rectifier tube use 274B as default, user can easily roll this rectifier tubes with even 300B or 80 (with 4 pin to 8 pin adapter) . Max. filament current for rectifier is 4A.
This DAC can effortlessly surpass the sonic performance of any small tubes DAC (6922, 12AX7...etc) or
medium size tubes DAC (6SL7, 6SN7...etc) and any solid-state DAC in the industry, no matter how
crazy unreasonable price they asked for.
USB input capability let you easily hook up your computer (MAC / PC compatible) or smartphone with supported USB audio interface, and transform them into a music server, which can play all ripped/downloaded regular CD or high resolution files
Super enhanced power transformer for "Hanging-in-the-air" 3D imaging, and good enough to power up the power hungry KT120, KT150 or KT170 output tubes, in pure class A single-ended triode configuration.
S/PDIF coaxial digital input for regular CD/DVD player hook up.
Hand-wired for tube section in order to achieve super high performance with such a bang-for-buck price tag, we strongly believe this unit can easily take down any other name brands DAC even over $10,000 range.
