The DAC Box RS has established itself as a reference-class D/A converter, specifically designed for discerning audiophiles who demand nothing but the best. This advanced converter serves as a high-quality USB audio interface for high-definition computer audio, supporting a range of inputs that include I²S with Master Clock, AES/EBU, optical, and coaxial connections.
Unmatched Sound Quality
The DAC Box RS is equipped with full DSD capability, supporting up to DSD128, and offers 24/192kHz HD audio on all inputs (with a limitation of 96/24 for optical). This ensures an exceptional listening experience that is rich and detailed. At its core, the device features two premium PCM 1792 DAC chips, which provide the audio fidelity that audiophiles crave. Additionally, users can select from various digital filters to tailor their listening experience to their sound preferences.
One of the standout features of the DAC Box RS is its dual output options. Users can choose between a warm, relaxed tube output for a vintage sound or a detailed, dynamic solid-state Class A output for a more contemporary feel. This flexibility allows listeners to customize their audio experience based on their taste and the type of music they are enjoying. The ultra-low noise, ultra-linear design, and low output impedance ensure a clean, interference-free signal that complements any high-end audio setup.
Exclusive Final Edition Improvements
The DAC Box RS Final Edition takes the already impressive performance of its predecessor and elevates it even further. This edition includes two specially selected and matched diamond ECC88 high-end tubes, each with a suggested retail price of €199. These high-quality tubes significantly enhance the audio performance, solidifying the DAC Box RS as the ultimate high-end bargain in the market. Furthermore, the internal components have been meticulously selected, and the wiring has been improved, ensuring that only the best materials are used in this final iteration.
Upgrade Linear Power Supply
To achieve clean and stable power—a critical component for any HiFi setup—the DAC Box RS comes equipped with a power supply that serves as a solid foundation. However, for those seeking to elevate their audio experience even further, the Power Box RS2 Sources is an exceptional upgrade that positions the DAC Box RS among the best DACs available today.
The Power Box RS2 Sources employs a linear power supply that features a toroidal transformer with shielding between the primary and secondary windings. This design acts as an isolation transformer, effectively preventing interference from the mains from penetrating the sensitive DAC circuitry. By housing the transformer in a completely separate unit, which is further isolated by a robust and aesthetically pleasing aluminum case, the Power Box RS2 Sources shields the DAC Box RS far more effectively than other solutions that integrate the transformer into the main unit.
