The main innovation is the replacement of the DAC chip with the BurrBrown PCM1796, which was used in the DAC-1, with the ESS Sabre ES9038. This made it possible to process digital PCM streams with a resolution up to 32 bits/384 kHz and DSD up to DSD256.

    Vincent DAC-700

    The Vincent DAC-700 uses an upgraded input stage implemented on a chip from Cirrus Logic Inc. and a new USB interface. The new product's switching arsenal includes two coaxial and two optical S/PDIF interfaces, an AES/EBU digital balanced input, and a USB-B port for connecting to a computer. For connection to the amplifier, balanced XLR connectors and unbalanced RCA analog outputs are provided.
