Proprietary Discrete R-2R Architecture
Design by Gustard: At its core lies a fully discrete R-2R resistor ladder network. Unlike common Delta-Sigma solutions that rely on high-frequency modulation and noise-shaping, our R-2R topology performs direct, instantaneous conversion of digital signals to analog voltage. This "purist" approach bypasses digital artifacts often associated with modern DAC ICs, delivering a sound signature that is organic, fluid, and distinctly analog.; Native 1-Bit
DSD ALL THE WAY: At the core of the DAC lies a True 1-Bit DSD D/A Converter. This powerhouse natively supports up to the an incredible DSD2048 via the I²S interfaceoffering a staggering 32× the resolution of standard SACD (DSD64) and providing 2048 times the sampling rate of the CD format.;
Exclusive Technologies: Exclusive technologiessuch as proprietary logic functions of digital integrated circuits, clock management, 2nd PLL digital shaping, DoP demodulation, and PCM/DSD anti-pop switchinglay a solid foundation for outstanding sound quality.;
Bespoke Discrete Class-A LPF Circuitry: Exclusively tailored for our R-2R architecture, the analog output stage features a fully Discrete Class-A Low Pass Filter (LPF). Unlike restrictive integrated operational amplifiers (Op-Amps) that rely on standardized internal structures, our discrete approach allows us to unlock the full potential of every single component.;
