Audio, 2xRCA, Jack Socket, Toslink, 192 kHz, 24-bit
Oehlbach´s extra-class DAC Edition 40 converts digital into analogue audio signals. High-resolution encoded signals are received through a coaxial or optical input. The desired input may be set with a switch and the signals will then be output through a two-channel RCA output. A high-quality AK4396 chip inside the device is responsible for loss-free digital-to-analogue conversion. The handy DAC Edition 40 is suitable for PCM-format audio sources and supports audio signals up to 192 kHz/24 bit. A USB connector or mains adapter may be used as the power supply.
One of the most important steps in high-quality music reproduction is the digital-analogue conversion of electrical signals. At Oehlbach, we therefore only use strictly selected components with technical properties of above-average quality. The AK4396 D/A converter is suitable for high resolution sampling rates up to 192 kHz/24 bits and produces only minimal non-linear distortions despite the huge frequency range. The extremely high tolerance to digital jitter is another distinctive feature of the D/A converter from Asahi Kasei. In addition to PCM, 1 bit DSD data signals, needed for the perfect reproduction of DVD audio and SAC media, are also processed.
