The Canor Audio Gaia C2 combines a high-quality DAC and a precision CD transport in a single, elegant package. Two Texas Instruments PCM1792A chips—one for each channel—are responsible for digital-to-analog conversion. The analog output stage is powered by vacuum tubes: two 12AX7, two 6922 (or E88CC), and one 6CA4EH.
