System DAC

The Black Control DAC is a unique path to the finest Digital to Analog conversion and ultimate musical experience. The 2-component design isolates both physically and electrically all input connections and processing in the independent solid billet aluminum chassis of the ASC2 controller. The ASC2 manages all input switching, volume control, custom tone control, Decoder Renderer, Phono stage, display function, and user interface. The Dual Mono DAC is also designed in a matching solid billet aluminum chassis isolated electrically through fiber optics from the ASC2 processing to maintain the highest signal accuracy. The 2 chassis design ensures a pure analog signal on the output that can drive any amplifier.
