MYTEK Brooklyn DAC+ (Silver)

Designed in New York
The only reasonably priced high end DAC with MQA hardware decoder needed to hear full original resolution of Tidal Masters

Brooklyn DAC+ is primarily reference USB2 DAC, but also line and phono analog preamplifier and a reference headphone amplifier. It integrates digital and vinyl hi-res playback for reference listening on headphones and speakers. All integrated functions are of the premium grade. Both phono preamplifier as well as a headphone amplifier are of the highest quality, they challenge dedicated units costing thousands of $$.

Brooklyn DAC+ was launched at RMAF 2017 in October 2017 and is now shipping. It replaces Brooklyn DAC which has now been discontinued.

Brooklyn DAC+ features the following improvements as compared to Brooklyn DAC:
 

• Sabre 9028 Pro chipset ( 9018 in older model)
• Higher grade, more transparent and less noisy analog attenuator circuit.
• Improved analog input performance
• Improved Phono Stage transparency
• Improved Headphone Amp sound (more detail, more definition)
• Dual mono analog path

In other words Brooklyn DAC+ has the same features as Brooklyn DAC but improved sound. It’s not a huge improvement, but noticeable, as Brooklyn DAC is still excellent sounding and best value in the price category when compared to competition.

Brooklyn DAC+ is now in stock and shipping. Brooklyn DAC remaining stock is being sold as well and available while supplies last.
