DAC768v2 – what's new:
1. AK 4493 SEQ
The DAC768v2 is equipped with the latest generation of the premium DAC chip – the AK 4493 SEQ – from Asahi Kasei (previously AK 4490).
The AK 4493 SEQ not only supports the playback of PCM signals at up to 768 kHz and DSD signals up to DSD512 – this 32-bit stereo DAC with “VELVETSOUND™ technology” impresses with even lower distortion characteristics and a wider dynamic range than its predecessor.
2. Spartan 7
The DAC768v2 features the newest version of the Spartan FPGA – Spartan 7 (previously Spartan 6).
3. The newest generation of the SPL low-pass flter “SLP120”
The DAC768v2 comes with a completely new tuned low-pass flter, which perfectly matches the sonic strengths of the new converter chip. It ofers an even better representation of the stereo image as well as a three-dimensionality we never experienced from any other DAC before.
