Merging Technologies NADAC

NADAC MC-8:
This unit is 18 months old. I purchased new directly from USA distributor Phillip O’hanlon. It does not come with Roon preinstalled but you can add that option from the manufacturer if you wish. It works great using ASIO with Roon, Jriver or whatever player can output with ASIO. This is the best multi channel DAC available. The 8 channels can also be paralleled down to 2 channels to achieve even better SNR. Remote control over android app. 
DIGITAL INPUTS
• Ethernet (RAVENNA/AES67) on RJ45 connector. Accepts 44.1kHz
384kHz PCM, DXD, DSD 64, DSD128, DSD256
• Connects from the computer using standard ASIO on Windows and CoreAudio on Mac
• Allows cable runs up to 100m on a single Cat5e or Cat6 cable, with possible repeaters, hubs or switches
• Asynchronous communication. The MERGING+NADAC controls the rate at which the digital audio data is sent to the DAC, not the computer or the player
• Ultra-precise communication clocking driven by the DAC…. Precision Time Protocol is at the heart of RAVENNA, ensuring a clock resolution of one nanosecond
• AES/EBU on 3-pin female XLR connector (44.1kHz - 192kHz PCM)
• SPDIF Optical on Toslink connector (44.1kHz - 96kHz PCM)
SPDIF Coaxial on RCA Phono (44.1kHz - 96kHz PCM)

ANALOG OUTPUTS
• 8 Balanced on 3-pin male XLR
• 8 Unbalanced RCA Phono connectors
• Separate headphone sockets with 1/4" jack and mini-jack ( when connected to a network, the headphones and main outputs may be driven by different source if required)

ADDITIONAL INPUTS
• Word Clock Input. BNC connector
