Specifications and features

DSDUSB

Overview

Most companies have designed their high-end DACs by following the reference circuit from a DAC chip company (such as ESS Technology). NuPrime goes a step further with innovations around the base chip.

To meet the highest performance requirements of NuPrime’s Evolution series, the power supply circuit of the Evolution DAC has been redesigned from the ground up using C-Core transformers and an AC filter, in addition to the DAC circuit. It uses one of the highest performing 32-bit audio DACs in the world, the ES9038PRO, and NuPrime’s PSRC chip to not only decode but also upconvert/downconvert the sampling frequency from 44.1 kHz PCM to 768 kHz PCM and from DSD64 to DSD512.

User reviews

Philippe

The sound quality of this DAC is exceptional on all criteria (rather neutral but not cold). However, it takes a few weeks for the sound to reach its peak.
The build quality seems to be of a high standard overall. However, despite a visit to the after-sales service, the front left button to turn the device on and off has an erratic operation (some days, I am forced to use the remote control to turn it off).

La qualité sonore de ce DAC est exceptionnelle sur tous les critères (plutôt neutre mais sans froideur). Il faut cependant attendre quelques semaines pour que le son soit à son apogée.
La qualité de fabrication paraît globalement de haut niveau. Cependant, malgré un passage en SAV, le bouton avant gauche pour allumer et éteindre l'appareil a un fonctionnement capricieux (certains jours, je suis obligé de passer par la télécommande pour l'éteindre).
