Nuforce DAC 80 Digital Analog Converter

This Dac is very transparent and is in excellent shape. It can also work as a preamp if matched correctly with a power amp. It has been lightly used and includes the remote, power cord and manual. I did not notice any scratches but I will rate it as an 8 to be on the safe side. I will pay shipping if my buy it now price is met. Please add 3% for Paypal fees.

The NuForce DAC-80 is a class-leading digital-to-analog converter offering one USB and three S/PDIF inputs.

The DAC-80 accepts up to four digital input sources and features a precision digital volume control, a high-resolution analog RCA output stage, and a convenient wireless remote.The DAC-80 incorporates several NuForce innovations:

Design & Features

•  Low Jitter
  

The DAC-80’s digital input stage operates in an asynchronous mode independent of any timing errors associated with the incoming digital audio stream. The input stage synchronizes the data to an internally referenced timing signal generated by an exceptionally stable circuit. The re-clocking circuit’s accuracy is such that any negative timing errors (jitter) are reduced to near theoretical limits.

Precision Volume Control

A digital 32-bit volume control offers precise channel tracking. Unlike more common digital volume controls operating at 24 or 16-bits, the 32-bit dynamic range of the DAC-80's volume control avoids any loss of low-level resolution.

Transparent Preamp

The analog preamp stage is a "minimalist" design that offers a signal path that approaches a "straight wire with gain" level of performance. Combined with top quality parts and a full 4.0Vrms signal level at the RCA outputs, the preamp section of the DAC-80 ensures that only the purest of analog music signals will ever be presented to your preamplifier.
