Details

The Audio-Technica AT-DAC100 is an advanced digital-to-analog converter engineered to deliver exceptional audio fidelity from high-resolution digital sources. Perfectly suited for use with high-end headphones like the ATH-ADX5000, ATH-MSR7b, and ATH-AW Series, this compact desktop unit supports a variety of high-definition audio formats, including 768 kHz, 32-bit (linear PCM), and 22.4 MHz (DSD), ensuring every detail of your recordings is heard with pristine clarity.

The AT-DAC100 features a sophisticated two-channel AKM AK4452VN converter that provides a high signal-to-noise ratio and minimal distortion. Its unique tuning suppresses high-frequency noise, making it an ideal match for the AT-BHA100 balanced headphone amplifier. The inclusion of an audio-grade LME49860 operational amplifier from Texas Instruments ensures low distortion and superior performance, while Nichicon chemical capacitors and WIMA film capacitors contribute to powerful bass and smooth, natural sound.
