Dual AK4495 384KHz 32Bit DSD DAC by Ultimate Stars TEXT and images Below From original owner. thanks you- Borrowed his images on different filter settings. Here is a dual AK4495 DAC recommended to the original owner by SNAmember @Ozcall (RIP) who fitted Burson opamps into the DAC. I had been interested in the work that @Ozcall had been doing, building and modding gear, and was aware of his great reputation on SNA with his innovative ways of seeking out great sounds. When I saw this DAC for sale with his fingerprints on it I couldn't resist. This was in my main system for some time and I got a lot of pleasure out of it. I love the options of the various filters to get the most out of different genres and tracks, as well as the ability to play high res music up to 384KHz/32BIT and DSD64 and DSD128. Recently however, I have been focussing on Philips based TDA1541 and TDA1540 DACs so am considering moving this one on to a new person. I tested all inputs and settings prior to posting for sale. It sounds fantastic with 44.1K, and high res sounds incredible. I ripped some of my vinyl to 192K/32BIT to listen via roon when ease is key (call me crazy), and listening to it through this DAC. I was really surprised at how much warmth, detail and similarity to the analogue original came across, not to mention other high res tracks sounding amazing. Input Support: Coaxial: 44.1K-192K 24BIT Fiber(Optical): 44.1K-192K 24BIT USB (XMOS XU208 card): 44.1K-384K 32BIT / DSD64, DSD128 NB: similar looking pics below show different input, resolution and filter settings 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockRolley Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Does indeed look like a good match for the War digital transport. Also very versatile beyond that. I was surprised at how good even USB out from my MacBook sounded. GLWTS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
