The converter is a two board stack. On the first board, all incoming digital audio is upsampled to 3.125MHz\/32 bits and converted to noise shaped PWM. On the other board are two mono DACs, in which a discrete 32- stage FIR DAC and a single-stage 4th order filtering I\/V converter, convert the PWM into analogue with a breathtaking 130dB SNR. This is near the theoretical limit for 24-bit files and far beyond that of even quad-speed DSD. Uniquely, distortion remains below the noise floor even for full scale signals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003eHigh End Pre Amplifier\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith the addition of an over-engineered high end and fully lossless volume control and headphone outputs, it is also the ideal control hub of a minimalist audio system for music lovers who have moved on to a digital sources only system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis DAC, combined with a pair of Mola Mola Kaluga monoblocks constitutes the finest digital replay chain available, irrespective of price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eOPERATING PRINCIPLE\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePWM DAC with 32-stage discrete analogue FIR output stage.
