Gryphon Audio ZENA DAC MODULE
The Zena DAC Module is a high-performance digital-to-analog conversion module from Gryphon. This model was developed primarily for collaboration with the proprietary Zena amplifier. The module is based on the ESS Sabre ES9018 32-bit chip with a sampling rate of up to 384 kHz (PCM), which supports all modern digital audio formats. Supports DSD64 and DSD128 (DSD256/512 for Windows).

Gryphon Audio DIABLO 300 DAC MODULE
The DAC provides higher power output compared to its predecessor: 2 x 300, 600 and 950 watts at 8, 4 or 2 ohms compared to 250, 500 and 800 ohms for the same load from Diablo. The inclusion of the power parameter in the specifications when operating on a load with a resistance of 2 ohms indicates that the amplifier is ready to control the most complex reactive load, the impedance of which can drop almost to the level of a short circuit.

Gryphon Audio KALLIOPE
The Gryphon Kalliope digital-to-analog converter, named after her, in addition to supporting the PCM audio format with parameters up to 32 bits / 384 kHz, is one of the few devices of this type capable of receiving a DSD stream. This know-how using pulse-density modulation at sampling rates up to 6.144 MHz, previously used in the production of SACD audiophile discs, continues to live on in the form of an ever-expanding library of files with the highest resolution available to consumers today.

Gryphon Audio DAC3
The new Gryphon DAC-3 digital-to-analog module is based on the Sabre ES9039PRO DAC chip from ESS Technology. Seven user–selectable digital PCM filters are implemented here, as well as a full range of digital inputs - USB-B, AES/EBU, coaxial BNC and optical Toslink.
