DAC-2 Audio Digital to Analog Converter
The DAC-2 is a high resolution, low noise digital to analog converter for demanding professional
applications.
The signal format (AES3 or S/PDIF) is selectable from the front panel. LEDs also indicate the
input signal sampling frequency (44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, 88.2 kHz, or 96 kHz) and other digital status
information (pre-emphasis and lock status). The output gain is adjustable using the recessed left
and right front panel controls.
Analog audio output connectors are the balanced XLR type, to interconnect readily with most types
of equipment. The AES3 and S/PDIF input connectors are XLR and RCA types, as per the respective
standards.
A word sync output is also provided, in order to sunchronize other devices with the DAC-2 internal
clock.
