Common Queries & Advice

Frequently Asked Questions

My integrated amplifier already has digital inputs and a built-in DAC. Is a standalone DAC still an upgrade?

In almost every case, yes. While built-in DACs offer great convenience, they share a power supply and a chassis with the massive, electrically noisy amplification stage. A dedicated standalone DAC utilizes its own isolated, linear power supply and vastly superior analogue output circuitry. By processing the audio externally and feeding a pure, clean analogue signal into your amplifier's RCA or XLR inputs, you will notice a significant drop in background noise and a massive improvement in soundstage width.

Do different DAC chips (ESS Sabre vs. AKM) actually sound different?

Yes, they impart a distinct "flavour" to the sound.

  • ESS Sabre chips are renowned for their clinical precision, hyper-detailed treble, and "forward" presentation.
  • AKM chips are famous for what audiophiles call "Velvet Sound"—a slightly warmer, smoother, and more forgiving presentation that takes the edge off harsh recordings.

However, the chip is only 20% of the equation. How the manufacturer engineers the power supply and the analogue output stage will have a vastly larger impact on the final sound than the chip itself.
