DACS

The Naim DAC-V1 is an asynchronous USB digital to analogue converter with multiple digital S/PDIF inputs, precision volume control and a high-quality headphone amplifier. It will produce stunning sound quality from your computer and transform it into a high-quality, high-resolution music hub.

Digital made musical

Connect the Naim DAC-V1 to your PC, Mac or Laptop via a standard A to B USB cable and the quality of your music will be defined not by the limitations of the computer hardware, but by the quality of the data itself. And with DAC-V1 that can be incredibly high, up to 24bit/384kHz resolution.

This, Chord believe, is a world-beater. But don't just take their word for it: Britain's biggest hi-fi magazine, What Hi-Fi? gave it five stars: http://www.whathifi.com/review/chord-electronics-qutehd and international specialist hi-fi bible, Hi-Fi News, gave it an Outstanding Product award: http://www.chordelectronics.co.uk/news-info.asp?id=72

The QuteHD is a 192kHz-capable, multiple-input, USB DAC which offers a range of bespoke technologies taken from the acclaimed QBD76HD, our reference DAC. Part of the beautiful Chordette series, the QuteHD boasts a groundbreaking sonic performance, custom DA conversion technology and cutting-edge DSD-over-USB functionality.

Computer music meets hi-fi sound. That’s what the DAC 1 Wireless USB Digital-to-Analogue Converter is all about. NAD's super simple and fun solution lets you listen to any music stored on or streamed to your computer on your high performance NAD hi-fi system. Point-to-point wireless technology means you can just plug in the two-piece DAC 1 and start enjoying computer audio with the least amount of fuss.

NAD's Direct Digital technology is unique in both its extreme precision and in its speed. This advancement was first introduced in the NAD M2 Direct Digital Amplifier to worldwide acclaim. Now this innovative Direct Digital technology is available as a standalone DAC. Instead of using the Direct Digital processor to drive a high power output stage, we employ a line level analogue output that will perfectly interface with any analogue system with the M51 Direct Digital DAC.

We love streaming computer music, especially 24/96 studio master tracks. But most computer sound cards are not designed for music production and end up ruining the sound while popular music streaming devices like Apple TV, Squeezebox and Sonos follow a similar poor quality path. Plug any of these devices into NAD’s MDC DAC and you will be blown away by what you hear! Listen to the details and dynamics reproduced from the original recording rather than the noise and distortion of an inadequately designed audio stage.

Musical Fidelity's V-DAC II brings true hi-fi quality digital-to-analogue conversion to an affordable price point.

From CDs to music streaming and downloads – if you listen to digital music then you need a digital-to-analogue converter (DAC) before amplification and speakers can work their magic.

Computers – and even many CD players – use very basic DACs, meaning you won’t get close to hearing the best from your music. That all changes when you add the dedicated V-DAC II: from lower bit-rate internet streams to better-than CD quality music files, your listening will be transformed.

With the increased popularity of computers as source, this Link D1 USB DAC allows consumers to enjoy listening to digital music sources from a computer (Windows or Mac) via USB connection. This product is USB 1.1 and 2.0 compliant. No custom USB drivers or software programs are required. This device supports sampling frequencies ranging from 32kHz to 192kHz and incorporates a high quality digital-to-analogue converter (DAC). It can also serve as an USB interface simply to convert the data of music files from your computer to SPDIF signal for use with outboard DAC’s.

Audiolab M-DAC - Standalone DAC (Digital to Analogue Converter)
Having been the missing piece in Audiolab’s arsenal since the release of the award-winning 8000DAC in 1992, the M-DAC has a smart styling and solid build, with ample connectivity. Alongside the USB input with asynchronous data processing, there are two each of coaxial and optical digital inputs, while you can choose from optical, coaxial, RCA single-ended and XLR balanced audio outputs. A high quality Class-A headphone amplifier is also built in to satisfy the headphone fanatic. A wand like remote control handset allows you to switch inputs, select from preset digital filters and alter the display. The large clear screen allows you to see what input is being used and the sample rate being received. High-res 24-bit/192kHz music files can be played on the M-DAC via the coaxial input, while optical and USB inputs support 24-bit/96kHz data.
