SPL Phonitor x + DAC768xs (Silver)

The Optional DAC768xs

The highly acclaimed AKM AK4490 Velvet Sound premium DAC chip is used as the converter chip in the optional digital-to-analogue converter, which thanks to its new architecture reproduces the finest sound details.

It converts PCM audio with a resolution of 32 bits and a sampling rate of up to 768kHz, which corresponds to 16 times the CD resolution. Direct Stream Digital is also supported up to a resolution of DSD4 or DSD256.

• Versatile Connectivity: Supports both balanced and unbalanced headphones, accommodating various headphone types.

• Phonitor Matrix Technology: Simulates speaker-like listening on headphones, providing a natural audio experience.

• Preamp Functionality: Can directly drive power amplifiers or active speakers, serving as a central hub in your audio setup.

• Optional DAC Integration: With the optional DAC768xs, it connects to digital sources via USB, coaxial, or optical inputs, enhancing playback versatility.

• High-Quality Volume Control: Features a substantial aluminum volume knob with motorized control for precise adjustments.

• Remote Control Capability: Learns commands from any infrared remote, allowing for convenient volume adjustments from a distance.

• Multiple Source Inputs: Accommodates up to five stereo sources, including balanced XLR, unbalanced RCA, and digital inputs with the optional DAC.

• Robust Build Quality: Constructed with durable materials, ensuring longevity and reliability in performance.
