Consequently, the DAC8 uses two low jitter Master Oscillators one for 44.1, 88.2 & 176.4kHz sample rates and the other for 48, 96 & 192 kHz sample rates. Dual Master Oscillators: When the time base of any DAC is not an integer multiple of the digital music sample rate, decoding and quantization errors occur.Each channel uses dual 24-bit D/A converters running in mono mode to lower the noise floor and increase the dynamic range. The DAC8 employs four 24-bit D/A converters.Dimensions: 18" width x 4 3/8" height x 18" depth.Two transformers, one for digital circuits and one for analog circuits.Multiple stainless steel faraday cages isolate critical digital, analog and power supply sections.Volume control optional, allows DAC to drive a power amplifier directly.Analog section featuring four vacuum tubes in differential configuration.DAC section based on Burr-Brown PCM1792A.DSP based digital section using Motorola DSP56362 for digital filters.USB capable of class 1 audio (96KHz, 24bit) and class 2 audio (192KHz, 24bit).AES/EBU, RCA Coax, Toslink standard on digital input 1 slot.

Card-based DAC with three digital input slots.
