The Denafrips Arcas is an audiophile digital network streamer engineered as an upgraded step up from the ARCE model. Built around a proprietary Denafrips streaming architecture running a custom audio-optimised operating system, the Arcas provides network streaming via Roon Bridge, HQPlayer NAA, AirPlay, and DLNA protocols, alongside local file playback from connected USB drives, SD cards, and network-attached storage (NAS). Signal timing is controlled by dual custom-selected Oven-Controlled Crystal Oscillators (OCXO) running at 45.1548 MHz and 49.152 MHz for precise reclocking and FIFO buffering.
Housed in an anodised aluminium chassis available in Silver or Black, the unit incorporates an in-house hand-wound 80VA O-core shielded transformer built with Ultra-Pure Ohno Continuous Cast (UPOCC) copper wiring. A multi-stage low-noise LDO linear power supply delivers stable DC power to the digital modules. Output connectivity includes dual AES/EBU outputs, coaxial, optical, and twin I²S ports (HDMI LVDS and RJ45 LVDS) capable of streaming PCM up to 384 kHz and native DSD up to DSD256.
