Audiolab M-DAC Digital To Analogue Converter

STOCK IS GOING TO BE LIMITED SO PRE-ORDER NOW AS THESE ARE GOING TO BE A HUGE SELLER

Available in brushed aluminium or black

The eagerly awaited Audiolab M-DAC digital to analogue convertor has already earned itself a 5 Star What HiFi Award. A high performance DAC offering USB, 2 x Optical inputs and 2 x Coaxial Inputs the M-DAC can run in DAC Mode or Digital Pre Amplfier Mode, ideal for connecting to a power amplifier or straight to a set of active loudspeakers. The M-DAC features RCA along with a set of fully balanced XLR outputs.

Designed by John Westlake, the Audiolab M-DAC has been designed to improve the sound of your digital sources and play high resolution 24-bit/192kHz files via the coaxial input (optical and USB will carry 24-bit/96kHz). The M-DAC has a 2.7" high contrast OLED screen, offering easy Mode and input selection.

The M-DAC will vastly improve the performance of any PCM digital source, such as a CD transport, your PC, MAC or DAB Radio.

 

Solid build, smart styling; supports 24-bit/192kHz; thorough selection of connections; sounds superb...well worth the wait, the M-DAC has raised the performance bar with apparent ease...hugely capable. We urge you to find out what it could do for your system' (What Hi-Fi Magazine November 2011)

'The real talking point here is just how good this unit makes your music sound. Like a sportsman at the top of his game, this Audiolab makes the job in hand seem easy. There's bags of detail, stirring dynamics and an exciting agility to the delivery...A WAV file of Hans Zimmer's Time from the Inception soundtrack delivers masses of information to process, but the sound remains precise and controlled' (What Hi-Fi Magazine November 2011)

'This is one of those products that has you reaching to play all your favourite tracks to hear just how good they can sound' (What Hi-Fi Magazine November 2011)
