    Audio Note DAC 4.1x

    CD-4.1x is a completely new CD player that has no analogues in the audio industry. It uses a Two/II CD transport with an upgraded DAC from the CD-2.1x Mk.II, on the digital printed circuit board there are Audio Note tantalum resistors and Black Gate capacitors, on the output stage there are Audio Note capacitors made of copper foil.

  • DAC 3.1x/II Balanced

    DACs

    Audio Note DAC 3.1x/II Balanced

    Audio mark DAC3.1x V2-it does not have excessive sampling, does not reduce jitter, does not generate noise and does not perform re-synchronization. After removing all digital filtering necessary for over-sampling, all filtering is performed in the analog domain, where it is easier to maintain good broadband phase and dynamic coherent behavior.

  • DAC 2.1x

    DACs

    Audio Note DAC 2.1x

    The Audio Note DAC2.1x Signature has many updated components compared to the standard version, including our proprietary Audio Note (UK) tantalum resistors and copper coil capacitors used in key circuits.

  • DAC 1.1x/II

    DACs

    Audio Note DAC 1.1x/II

    The Audio Note 1.1x V2 Signature digital-to-analog converter has been specifically designed to reproduce musical characters, not technical specifications, and meets all the criteria of Audio Note (UK) Level 1.
