DAC 16. High quality stand alone DAC with Digital and USB inputs so that high quality audio can finally be achieved from a computer.

SpAct memory architecture and Linear technology have been applied in the whole USB and built-in DAC section, where the digital signal received from a computer is checked, clock corrected and decoded. SpAct memory architecture is set within the data path, establishing smoother data flow so that the final audio has the lowest possible jitter. It ensured that the built-in DAC section is able to be fed with information with both higher data integrity and lower jitter. This is the real DAC section. Using our famous Linear technology developed originally for the well received CD120 linear CD-player, that convert the precisely recovered data to a high quality antilog signal. The result is no smearing effect caused by a digital filter, superb transient response without any over-shooting in sound.

This is the DAC out of the CD120 Linear, but with USB input.
