Produktinformation
Engineered to meet the needs of the most demanding audio purists while also providing the greatest degree of flexibility, the NuForce DAC-9 is a true reference-class digital-to-analog stereo converter, pre-amplifier and headphone amplifier in one supremely sophisticated package. As to versatility, with its six digital inputs, the DAC-9 offers compatibility with all existing digital formats.
And, in keeping with NuForce’s commitment to its customers, plug-in USB module/interfaces will always provide for upgradeability to higher bit rates, thereby securing the end-user’s investment as digital technology continues to advance.
The DAC-9 addresses the need for complexity on a foundation of remarkable simplicity. Minimal processing and the shortest possible signal paths set the DAC-9 apart. For example, when an input source is selected, a pair of high-performance DACs offer up to 24-bit/192kHz (24bit/96kHz for USB) conversion of digital audio data. Extensive testing and listening tell us that up-sampling and sample-rate conversion do more harm than good, as does negative feedback. Consequently, no form of sample-rate conversion is ever employed.
# The true-balanced XLR output produces twice the gain of the RCA output.
# The remote and front panel controls allow for fixed and variable voltages.
# A small plugged-in USB module allows for future upgradeability to a higher-bit-rate USB interface card.
# Coaxial or BNC S/PDIF input: Only one of these inputs can be used when Input 3 is selected. To achieve optimum performance, we recommend a 75-ohm BNC cable (available from NuForce) with a BNC connector. On the front panel, a 3.5mm optical S/PDIF input.
