This is a really nice DAC and has the following specs

1. Two WM8741 dac chips -- mono configuration (one chip for one channel)
2. Two sealed high grade transformer deployed, one for digital, another for analogue circuit.
3. Dedicate voltage regulation circuit, 2 stage for digital circuit, each wm8741 chips have independent second stage regulated power supply.
4. CS8416 SPDIF receiver for 24bit 192k SPSID signal compatibility.
This is most stable and high compatible SPDIF receiving chip on market.
This dac can receive and decode real 24bit 192k SPDIF signal!
Most 24bit/192k dac actually can not deal with 24bit 192k SPDIF signal.
They just use a 24/192 dac chip but fail to perform 24bit 192k capability.
5. TENOR TE7022L usb receiver chip, supporting native 24bit 96K digital output capability.
6. 4x OPA627au

for analogue balanced XLR output.
7. 2x AD797 OPAMP for analogue RCA output.


8. All high grade parts usage, carefully chosen parts for best sound performance.
9. Professional circuit layout to get best circuit stability and great performance.
10. Aluminium housing, hair skin surface procession.


11. Digital Input: balanced Spdif AES/EBU port, RCA, Toslink Optical input and USB
12. Analogue Output: balanced analogue output via XLR port, single ended output via RCA port
13. Dimension: 190 x 70 x 330 mm (W x H x D)
