The C1.2 Mono is a digital-to-analogue converter from CH Precision, a Swiss manufacturer with a considerable reputation for uncompromising modular high-end electronics engineering, built with an exceptional signal-to-noise ratio. The C1.2 Mono brings CH Precision's meticulous engineering to standalone digital conversion.

Key specs that matter

DSD compatibility and PCM support up to 24-bit/768kHz are provided. Signal-to-noise ratio exceeds an exceptional 120dB, with total harmonic distortion plus noise under an exceptionally low 0.004% at 22kHz. At 440 x 440 x 133mm and 20kg, the C1.2 Mono represents a substantial digital source commitment reflecting CH Precision's uncompromising Swiss build standards.

Sound and use context

Expect exceptionally clean, detailed conversion reflecting the extraordinary over-120dB signal-to-noise and near-immeasurable 0.004% distortion figures, consistent with CH Precision's broader uncompromising modular engineering philosophy.

Pairing

CH Precision's own P1 phono stage and M10 Stereo power amplifier share the brand's coherent modular engineering philosophy, forming natural companion components.

Alternatives

CH Precision's own C10 offers an alternative built around a distinctive R2R conversion architecture within the same broader digital source catalogue.
