APL NWO Master DAC

APL HiFi – NWO Master Edition DAC M digital analog converter. Designed and built by Alex Peychev of APL HiFi. 

Features of Master DAC-M:

- Industry standard digital input receiver by Cirrus Logic accepting up to 192kHz/24bit. 

- USB input based on XMOS chipset accepting up to 192kHz/24bit. No driver needed for Mac and Linux OS. Please inquire with APL Hi-Fi for a Windows driver. 

- Asynchronous re-sampler with low jitter Master Clock working at 195kHz/32bit. Regardless of the input sample rates, the D/A converters always work at 195kHz/32bit. 

- AK4399 D/A conversion devices by AKM working in Mono mode. Specially developed Class-A operation of the AK4399 analog output stage greatly reduces distortions. 

- Since every AK4399 contains 4 D/A converters, the total count is 20 paralleled D/A converters per channel for improved signal to noise ratio and contributing to a richer sound quality. 

- Differential Class-A tube output stage with vintage E182CC tubes by Philips and custom Lundahl output transformers wound with OFC wire.

- All-handmade boutique with OFC internal wiring for power supply and digital/analog signal paths.
