Marantz HD-DAC1 silver gold-plated

New Audiophile Headphone Amplifier with DAC MARANTZ HD-DAC1

This audiophile-quality headphone amplifier creates truly remarkable sound by leveraging Marantz’s high-end amplification technologies from the Premium 11 Series. The HD-DAC1 is so powerful that it can effortlessly drive audiophile headphones with impedances up to 600 Ω in DAC mode, thanks to its three-level gain control, Marantz HDAM-SA2 modules, high-current audiophile DAC (CS4398), and premium fixed and variable RCA outputs.

Its power extends beyond just driving headphones - you can also directly connect it to your hi-fi system’s integrated amplifier, a pair of active speakers, or power amplifiers. It offers numerous connections for this purpose. Its optical and coaxial digital inputs, as well as a USB-B port, allow you to stream music directly from a PC or Mac. Marantz has also included an analog input.

The USB-B port operates in asynchronous mode, compatible with both 192 kHz/24-bit audio resolutions and DSD 2.8 MHz and 5.6 MHz, to deliver enhanced performance and the best way to directly enjoy excellent quality. To preserve audio quality when connected to a computer, Marantz has implemented complete isolation around the USB-B input to eliminate high-frequency interference caused by the connection between the computer and the HD-DAC1. Marantz has even integrated a jitter reducer and dual clock for extreme precision. The HD-DAC1 is a true delight for the ears.
