SW1X DAC II Signature

SW1X Audio Design™ DAC II Signature Performance Level 2 D to A Converter

 

Limited edition version with Kaisei and Black Gate capacitors wherever possible.

DAC II is based on 2 x PCM 56K DACs and features more sophisticated power supplies. The DAC has a similar analogue character of DAC I with musical refinement and presentation on another level. The transparency and the low level resolution of DAC II supersedes 24bit/32bit DAC chips with Kaisei or Black Gate capacitors in the DAC power supplies.

 

 

SW1X Audio Design™ DAC II Signature Features:

• Specially selected and harmonically matched component & material quality
• NOS (Non oversampling –zero digital domain filtering) design
• Based on 2x PCM56 K – the most refined and highest resolving sounding 16 bit DAC chips ever produced (yes, even cleaner and more refined than most 24/32bit Delta Sigma chips) directly connected to CS8414 S/PDIF receiver
• Active I/V conversion via a special Germanium transistor (with less than 10 Ohm input impedance) with the shortest signal path directly connected to the tube grid
  Single ended, Class A, anode follower, zero feedback, 5687 double triode valve output stage
• Output signal decoupling capacitor choice between a) Bosch/Siemens PIO, b) Audio Note Copper Foil Mylar in Oil or c) AN Silver Foil (on request)
• 5C4S directly heated diode tube rectified CLC (choke filtered) tube output stage power supply
• Custom Germanium transistor based shunt voltage regulated power supplies everywhere
• Supports 24Bit/96kHz digital coaxial S/PDIF signal input
• 230/240V power transformers (110V available on request)
