FX-AUDIO's first DSD-compatible DAC! A high-spec, cost-effective model that delivers ultra-high sound quality while minimizing costs.
Equipped with an XMOS XU208 chip in the USB interface, this USB bus-powered DA/DD converter supports decoding of DSD 11.2MHz/5.6MHz/2.8MHz and PCM 384kHz/32-bit.
Equipped with a USB input terminal, analog RCA audio output terminals, optical digital output terminals, and coaxial digital output terminals, it can also be used as a digital output audio interface.
The RCA output has a digital volume control that can be adjusted using the buttons on the unit and the included remote control, so it can also be used as a preamplifier.
