SW1X Audio Design™ DAC III Signature Features:

• Specially selected and harmonically matched component & material quality
• NOS (Non oversampling –zero digital domain filtering) design
• Based on 1x TDA1541 – the most analogue sounding DAC chip ever made directly connected to CS8414 S/PDIF receiver
• Dynamic Element Matching (DEM) of the TDA1541 is driven by an asynchronous E806S valve clock with EAA91 valve rectified, choke filtered power supply
• Active I/V conversion via specially selected Germanium transistor (with less than 10 Ohm input impedance) with the shortest signal path directly connected to the tube grid
• Anode follower, zero feedback, E182CC double triode valve coupled output stage
• 5C4S tube rectified CLCLC (2x choke filtered) HV valve output stage power supply
• 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)
• Custom Germanium transistor based shunt voltage regulated power supplies
• Supports 24Bit/96kHz digital coaxial S/PDIF signal input
• 3 x 110/115/230/240V mains transformers
