The DAC1 is a two-channel, 24-bit, 96-kHz Digital-to-Analog audio converter. The DAC1 is perhaps one of the more significant recent advances in digital audio conversion technology. The DAC1 provides some of the finest analog conversion through 96-kHz, and will play back 192-kHz with a 48-kHz analog bandwidth. The performance of the DAC1 is unrivaled. THD+N is an astonishing low -106 dB (0.0005%) measured at 0 dBFS, at any playback frequency, at any sample rate, with any degree of input jitter, and it just gets better from there.

Listening to audio from the DAC1 is an amazing experience. The distortion free output is so pristine it truly feels as though someone has finally lifted the curtain! Now you can hear detail that was previously masked by jitter induced artifacts and distortion. If it was an exceptional recording, you’ll hear it, if it wasn’t, you’ll hear that as well.

The DAC1 is essential equipment for mastering studios, recording and broadcast studios, and audiophile home systems. After all, if you can't hear what your doing when you record, how can you fix it? The testimony of so many owners of the DAC1 is that, when listening to previous projects, they are now hearing elements they would have handled differently... had they heard them in the first place!

The DAC1 has Benchmarks 5-Year parts and labor warranty.
