DAC DAC 2 HSV is a volume controled D/A converter for ultra-high-performance 2-channel audio systems.
The basics:
-
Accesses superior signal quality with the least amount of audio equipment.
-
No pre-amp needed; allows for the simplest Audio system with no distortion from an amplifier. It keeps the analog signal path as short as possible by allowing the DAC DAC 2 HSV to drive the amplifiers directly.
-
With volume control knob - that has a "natural" feel, the HSV version contains an analog pot that controls the digital attenuator, which keeps the analog signal path as short as possible.
-
Top 5% of volume range is set for no attenuation, bottom 5% is set to mute. So it is easy to mute or max out with no switch to defeat volume control.
-
Allows for no volume control sources to be used in the system; like a CD transport
-
HS = High Spec, about 124dB SNR and 0.0004% THD
