Today an increasing number of music lovers are buying storing and listening
to music through their computer, media server, or personal music player (iPod).
Many are also digitally distributing their music using a sonos, squeezebox, or
one of a host of digital music distribution systems available on the market.
This is a great way to explore and appreciate music but generally it’s done at
the expense of sound quality. Until now music lovers have been forced to rely on
the inferior digital to analog converters (DACs) and sounds cards contained in
those devices. As a result, their musical enjoyment has dramatically suffered.
We designed the dac25.3 to directly address this problem and to significantly
improve the sound quality of the music played on these systems.
By uniting a state of the art digital to analog converter with a tube output
we produce the clarity and precision of a 24bit DAC with the warm rich open
sound people love of tubes. The dac25.3 has 4 digital inputs which can accept
any coax (s/pdif), optical, XLR (AES/EBU), or USB digital input from an iPod
transport, computer, media server, sonos, squeezebox, CD/DVD in stereo
transport, or music hall’s own cd35.2 compact disc player, and it will output
two channel stereo analog.
The dac25.3 features the latest texas instruments (formerly burr-brown) PCM
1796 24bit/192kHz, advanced segment, stereo audio digital to analog converter.
This processor features 123dB dynamic range an 8 x oversampling digital filter
and just 0.0005% thd. The dac25.3 upsamples to either 96kHz or 192kHz which is
user selectable on the front panel. To achieve the best sound we use an advanced
asynchronous reclocking and anti jitter control system upstream of the PCM 1796
DAC. For this system we are using the philips 74HC574 in conjunction with the ti
SRC4192 asynchronous sample rate converter whose master clock is a high
precision active crystal oscillator. The dac25.3 also features a large r-core
high current oversize power transformer. A headphone output is provided for
convenient personal listening.
