CD/DVD Players DAC7

Although our initial development was focused on the USB input, our intent was to provide greater flexibility and allow it to act as a hub for multiple digital sources. The DAC7 has five digital inputs including USB, XLR, RCA, BNC and Optical (Toslink?). Operationally, the DAC7 is also quite flexible. Housed in a preamplifier-sized chassis, front panel functions include Power, Mute, Invert, and Input select. There is also a Lock LED to indicate whether the selected input has a digital lock.The supplied remote not only controls Power, Mute,
Invert and (discrete) Input select, its HID (part of the USB protocol) controls the Play/Pause, Stop, Track Up and Track Down functions of the USB device to which the DAC7 is connected.

With the growth of the iTunes culture and the increasing popularity of storing music on a hard drive, we were asked repeatedly to offer a USB DAC that could connect with Macs, PCs and servers to deliver a new benchmark in high resolution digital music playback. We listened, and after more than a year in development we are excited to introduce the DAC7 digital-to-analog converter. With an affordable price and extraordinary sonic attributes, we expect this product to be immensely successful.
