ACCUSTIC ARTS TUBE-DAC II-MK2(HD)
Audiophile reference D/A-converter with a so called "tube hybrid" concept
TUBE DAC II-MK2 highlights
Special and unique 2 x 32 Bit / 192 kHz technology with simultaneous digital signal processing, separately for right and left channel
7 digital inputs:
- 3 inputs (2 x COAX, 1 x TOSLINK) optimized for HD playback up to 192 kHz
- 1 USB input optimized up to 192 kHz
- 3 inputs (XLR, COAX, BNC) optimized for lower frequencies up to 48 kHz
Extremely elaborate digital signal processing supported by an unique 32 bit Microcomputer
The 32 bit Microcomputer contains e.g.:
- High precision crystal oscillator
- 32 bit digital filter (including "de-emphasis" technology)
- 26 parallel working multiplier processors
Advantages of this "tube hybrid" technology:
- very high impedance
- very high bandwidth
- very low distortion factors and a perfect distortion spectrum
- "analog" and sound performance of outstanding precision
Easy exchange of tubes without any adjustments ("plug and play")
Professional Class A output stage using technology derived from studio engineering
All used components are of outstanding quality (e.g. 10 pcs Burr Brown? OPA 627) and additionally selected
2 premium quality rotary switches with gold-plated silver contacts
2 magnetically shielded, encapsulated toroidal core transformers ("Made in Germany") of premium quality for high output reserves
Very high power supply capacity (approx. 84,000 ?F totally)
Extremely stable and resonance optimized housing, primarily made of massive aluminium plates;
turning knobs made of massive and chromed brass
