  • Class A operation
  • Zero Feedback
  • Crystal Semi-conductor input receiver
  • Analogue Devices 18 Bit DAC
  • 6922 valve output stage

  • 96kHz compatible & upgradeable to 192 kHz
About Audio Note's DAC Design Concept:

Audio Note produces some of the finest D/A converters in the market. 1x means NO over sampling and no digital filtering, and once heard it is hard to deny the utter superiority of this topology. The Audio NoteT 1x oversamplingT Direct from DiscT conversion system allows you for the first time to hear the undiluted, unaltered and uncontaminated digital signal, as it was recorded, without the time smear, correction or other interference introduced by other converters.

Direct from DiscT really does mean what it says! There always was more good information stored on your discs than previously thought.
