{"product_id":"restek-mdac-dac-preamplifier","title":"Restek MDAC+ DAC \u0026 Preamplifier","description":"\n\u003cp\u003eThe MDAC+ is a digital preamplifier and D\/A converter with a variety of inputs and outputs and a volume control that can be switched on and off. For the first time, this digital-to-analogue converter makes it possible to directly compare a digital volume control with an analogue volume control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy using modern components optimised for hi-fi applications, we are now able to take the reproduction quality of the MDAC+ to the extreme, with a fine resolution and digital detail, combined with a pleasant analogue sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe digital preamplifier and converter MDAC+ is the product of our efforts to give you a device that leaves nothing to be desired in terms of sound and comfort.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDigital accuracy meets analogue sound\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHigh-quality switches, two sample rate converters and a modern 24-bit 192 kS multibit digital-to-analog converter allow the listener to choose from a variety of bit resolutions and conversion rates. This means that musical playback can be tailored to individual listening habits with a high sound resolution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn particular, the digital filter of the D\/A converter, which works without pre-ringing, makes the MDAC+ sound very analogue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA potentially isolated USB interface makes it possible to play back tracks that are stored on a PC in high quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsing the volume control that can be switched on and off, the signal can be attenuated down to -99 dB in 1 dB steps. The drivers of the analogue RCA outputs establish the connection to a preamplifier, power amplifiers or active loudspeakers. The low output resistance of 50 ohms and the maximum current of up to 35 mA rms of these driver stages enable, on the one hand, correct line matching and, on the other hand, the use of sometimes unavoidably long cables without the music signal being affected by the cables.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll parts of the electronics of the MDAC+ are DC-coupled in order to ensure perfect transmission of even the lowest frequencies. There are no capacitors or electrolytic capacitors in the signal path that could distort the music. Noise and crosstalk are only noticeable at the measurement limit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe eye listens: timeless design, straightforward ergonomics\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike all source devices in the RESTEK M series, the MDAC+ D\/A converter's claim to be easy to use and highly functional has been realised by allowing all special functions to be operated using the remote control or a single button. The design of the digital preamplifier and digital-to-analogue converter remains puristically clear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInfrared Remote control system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimmable multifunction display\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMenu-driven operation of a button\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUSB digital input\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTOSLINK digital inputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDigital RCA inputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTOSLINK digital outputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDigital RCA outputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnalog RCA output\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGerman manufacturing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInputs: 4 x TOSLINK it as a \"tape loop\", 4 x RCA it as a \"tape loop\", USB, and I2S\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutputs: 2 x TOSLINK it as a \"tape loop\", 2 x RCA it as a \"tape loop\", I2S, and analog\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVolume Control: Choice of digital or analog\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eD \/ A converter: 24 bit Wolfson advanced multibit converters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResolution: 16 bit, 18 bit, 20 bit and 24 bit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUp and Down Sampling: 44.1 kS, kS 48, 88.2 kS, kS 96, 176.4 and 192 kS kS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnalog frequency response: 3 Hz ... 96 kHz + - 0,5 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDistortion: \u0026lt;0.005%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutput level: 2V rms max.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutput current: 70 mA rms max.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutput Impedance: 50 ohms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 285 x 64 x 330 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 3.9 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisplay color: red, green or blue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n","brand":"Restek","offers":[{"title":"Acrylic","offer_id":52739997401354,"sku":null,"price":1890.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Aluminium","offer_id":52739997434122,"sku":null,"price":1790.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black","offer_id":52739997466890,"sku":null,"price":1790.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Chrome","offer_id":52739997499658,"sku":null,"price":1890.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0917\/3283\/6618\/files\/restek-mdac-dac-preamplifier-700-p_b2c54cbb-b600-4ca2-9dd6-4b49d92b3384.jpg?v=1773933948","url":"https:\/\/audioemotion.co.uk\/products\/restek-mdac-dac-preamplifier","provider":"Audio Emotion Limited","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
