The DAC-1MK converts digital music files with a max. sampling rate of 32 bit / 384 kHz (DSD). The core is the ES9038 decoder, which processeds the signal fully balanced to the analog section.
With the DAC-1 MK we have further improved the excellent sounding DAC-1. Now it supports DSD via USB and can play files with a maximum resolution of 32 bit / 384 kHz. Through the optical and coax input, the DAC-1 MK can process digital signals with a max. resolution of 24 bit / 192 kHz.
The digital signal is internally converted by the ES9038 decoder and processed fully balanced afterwards. To get the best possible sound quality, we use only high quality parts produced by well selected manufacturers (e.g. WIMA or Nichicon).
Like on the DAC-7 we us a transformer with double winding in the power supply. One windig is exclusively for the analog part of the unit, another winding we use only for the digital part of the unit. Both parts get the optimal power and it also minimizes parasitic coupling. This improves the dynamic and reproduces the music signal almost lossless.
