This listing is for the T+A DAC 8. The DAC 8 offers a 24/192 Burr Brown DAC, preamp and Headphone section in a 10.5 (w) by 10.5 (d) by 3.5 (h)  attractive black/aluminium package .A highly adjustable piece that we found to work wonderfully with both solid state and tube amps. It is quite at home with passive or active speakers. Offering a number of connection options it includes both a 1.0 and 2.0 USB which we were quite impressed by. Besides the great synergy in our system with the EAR Acute CD player and others we also had outstanding results using it both with Aurender and an Ultrarendu to take advantage of our digital library.

THE DAC 8 is a very detailed and clear sounding piece that provides a non-fatiguing effortless performance. With its neutral presentation and many fine tuning choices the 8 should be easy to mate with most systems. Overall, it got our attention with its musicality, which is the first thing we look for in a high quality component. In fact, the 8 was much more musical than more costly units that we had in house.

T+A (THEORY and APPLICATION) is a German company that is known for their construction, innovative technologies and high level performance. Their owners manual (included) is quite detailed and customer support is of high quality OVERALL AN EXCELLENT MANUFACTURER WITH PRODUCTS MADE TO LAST!

FROM THE REVIEWS:

" I first used the T+A DAC 8 to feed analog signals to two o my preamps - a Lamn industries LL2.1 and a deHavilland Mercury 3. It worked perfectly well with both, and its sound, with 16/44.1 signals was consistently well balanced throughout the audioband, and equal or better than what I got from my newly overhauled Cary Audio 303/300 CD player. The sound was both more resolved and somewhat easier on the ears, especially during tuttis of symphonic music, blasts of high notes from trumpets in jazz or classical recordings, and the top notes of operatic tenors and sopranos. Not surprisingly, with high resolution files, the DAC 8 sounded clearly superior to CDs and ALAC files ripped from CDS, with greater clarity, dynamic range, and an increased sense of presence."

"Just about every piece of piano music sounded grand - crystalline in trills with crisp and precise attacks, a rich midrange, fine sustain, bountiful harmonics and resonant authoritative bass." "The sound of strings, too were fabulously rich and resolved." "Male and female voices came off spectacularly well."

"If you"re in the market for a desktop or console-top DAC, I strongly recommend checking out the T+A DAC 8. It can be the solo source for a superb three-piece system of DAC, preamp, power amp and speakers. And as the hub of a digital system it's completely flexible, accepting USB from a computer, S/PDIF and optical systems from other digital sources, and works terrifically with most any headphone out there. I loved it. I'm keeping it."
