darTZeel LHC-208. Built in DAC

  Reviewed by Absolute Sound (see Youtube) and confirmed to be one the best integrated amplifiers in the world. It's unusual that AS would consider an integrated. 
 It has power and finesse. I love the way it handles monitors in medium size rooms.
 Comes with remote and original packaging.
It is a M I. No need to spend more money for an upgrade. It doesn't need it.

Designed to handle high-quality digital music, the LHC-208 is in fact a « danalogue » integrated amplifier, with built-in streaming system and DAC.

darTZeel has ventured into the world of digital to offer its signature brand of unparalleled sound reproduction, through its groundbreaking approach to signal processing.

With an active Ethernet connection, the LHC-208 decodes and reproduces digital audio files, including DSD256 and 24/384 formats.

The LHC-208 can be operated using its remote control, the DarTZeel app or any DLNA-compatible UPnP application.

The LHC-208 offers excellent digital conversion quality, ease of use, a compact and elegant chassis, powerful output stages and development potential with its modern interface.
