Nuforce DAC-80 silver

Designed from the ground up to be a high-end digital-to-analog converter (DAC), the DAC80 effortlessly extracts the subtlest nuances and details from your digital music collection. Intended to be the cornerstone of your high-end audio system with three different connectors and the ability to connect four devices simultaneously, the DAC80 is the ultimate “Music Center” for any audiophile.

At the heart of the DAC80 lies an audio-grade toroidal transformer that provides ultra-stable, low-noise power to the sound cards. The DAC80 supports up to 24-bit, 192 kHz formats, accurately converting digital audio data into an analog signal at its native sampling rate.

The DAC80’s digital input stage operates in asynchronous mode. The precision of the re-clocking circuit is such that negative timing errors (jitter) are reduced to near-theoretical zero limits. No upsampling or other questionable data manipulation is employed in order to maintain the purity of your music - exactly as the artist intended.

A 32-bit digital volume control offers highly accurate channel tracking. Unlike common digital volume controls operating at 24 or 16 bits, the 32-bit dynamic range of the DAC80’s volume control avoids any loss of low-level resolution.

The minimalist design analog preamplifier stage utilizes a signal path that approaches a wire-with-gain level of linearity. Combined with intelligently chosen components and a full-scale signal output of 2.0Vrms on the RCA outputs, the DAC80’s preamp section ensures the transmission of an exceptionally high-quality sound signal.
