chip.

From
"Head Fi" review 5 June 2017: "...Extreme clarity,
massive sound stage, solid build, compact yet packed with features.

For
a neutral reference sound with spectacular sound stage, incredibly
precise imaging, and clarity rarely found at any price,
Veritas earns a very hearty recommendation.

Employs
the latest ESS SABRE ES9028PRO DAC chip, a big upgrade from the prior
9018 model (ESS founder and Resonessence Labs founder are brothers). 

About
Resonessence, from their web page: "Resonessence Labs is a
trading name of BCIC Designs Inc. a company registered in British
Columbia Canada. The principal founder of the company is Mark
Mallinson, former Operations Director for ESS Technology. The
company’s focus is to design and manufacture exceptional audio
products. Our design engineers and Investors are industry audio
experts at DAC and ADC design, and were front and center in the
design of the ESS Audio DAC and ADC.

Our
first product, Invicta, a dual channel DAC, has been two years in
development. We believe it to be a product offering a level of
performance that is unmatched at any price. Leveraging our unique
understanding of the Sabre DAC our product has been designed to the
exacting standards that will appeal to recording studios and serious
audiophiles who want the best performance available.

Our
second product, Concero, is the digital processing core of the
Invicta made available in the compact format of a USB DAC, USB to
SPDIF Bridge and SPDIF DAC. Concero allows customers to access the
proven USB Audio 2.0 features of Invicta, and use Resonessence Custom
Up-Sampling filters. Investments in 44.1kS/s and 48kS/s digital music
never sounded as good as when played through Concero’s up-sampling
filters and the customer’s existing headphone or power amplifier.

Our
philosophy is simple: put together a team that includes world class
audio engineers and design audio products without compromise.

Creating
the very best requires careful planning, strict attention to every
detail and close supervision at every step; this is why we chose to
manufacture our products locally within Canada. Each stage in the
development process is monitored by our experienced audio
professionals. Each unit is hand-assembled in our own engineering
facility to exacting standards of performance and quality.
Mark
Mallinson, President Resonessence Labs."
