Music Hall has significantly upgraded the Award-Winning DAC25.2 to the DAC25.3!
The upgrade was to the USB input which now accepts 24bit/96kHz signals. The
Music Hall DAC25.3 is natively compatible with Windows 7/Vista/XP/2000 and Mac
OS X.
Today an increasing number of music lovers are buying storing and listening to
music through their computer, media server, or personal music player (iPod).
Many are also digitally distributing their music using a sonos, squeezebox, or
one of a host of digital music distribution systems available on the market.
This is a great way to explore and appreciate music but generally it's done at
the expense of sound quality. Until now, music lovers have been forced to rely
on the inferior digital to analog converters (DACs) and sounds cards contained
in those devices. As a result, their musical enjoyment has dramatically
suffered. Music Hall has designed the DAC25.3 to directly address this problem
and to significantly improve the sound quality of the music played on these systems.
By uniting a state of the art digital to analog converter (DAC) with a tube
output we produce the clarity and precision of a 24bit DAC with the warm rich
open sound people love of tubes. The Music Hall DAC25.3 has 4 digital inputs
which can accept any coax (s/pdif), optical, XLR (AES/EBU), or USB digital
input from an iPod transport, computer, media server, sonos, squeezebox, CD/DVD
in stereo transport, or music hall's own CD35.2 Compact Disc Player, and it
will output two channel stereo analog.
The Music Hall DAC25.3 features the latest Texas Instruments (formerly
Burr-Brown) PCM 1796 24bit/192kHz, advanced segment, stereo audio digital to
analog converter. This processor features 123dB dynamic range an 8 x
oversampling digital filter and just 0.0005% thd. The dac25.3 upsamples to
either 96kHz or 192kHz which is user selectable on the front panel. To achieve
the best sound, Music Hall uses an advanced asynchronous reclocking and anti
jitter control system upstream of the PCM 1796 DAC. For this system the philips
74HC574 is used in conjunction with the TI SRC4192 asynchronous sample rate
converter whose master clock is a high precision active crystal oscillator. The
Music Hall DAC25.3 also features a large r-core high current oversize power
transformer. A headphone output is provided for convenient personal listening.
