Beautiful sound and beautiful design – DS-DAC-100
If we’re talking about beautiful sound, we also want the appearance to be beautiful. Leave behind the bustle of everyday life, and spend a holiday afternoon deeply immersed in the music you love. Audio equipment lacking a professional aesthetic is not going to transport the listener to a world that’s distant from reality. The DS-DAC100 is housed in an elegant and curvaceous body, with a simple front panel with a volume knob, LED indicators, and a headphone jack. The influence of vibration is minimized by a bottom panel with gleaming metal spiked feet (as found on other high-end audio equipment). In response to numerous requests from audio aficionados and studio engineers, we’ve provided XLR connectors for balanced outputs as well as RCA outputs.
