The HERITAGE D100 DAC is a digital-to-analogue converter from YBA, part of the brand's Heritage-styled product line, built with exceptional signal-to-noise performance. The HERITAGE D100 DAC brings YBA's considered engineering to standalone digital conversion.

Key specs that matter

DSD compatibility reaches DSD128, with PCM support up to 24-bit/384kHz. Frequency response spans 20Hz to 20,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB. Output level reaches 2V balanced or 4V single-ended. Signal-to-noise ratio reaches an exceptional 125dB via XLR or 120dB via RCA, with total harmonic distortion plus noise under an exceptionally low 0.001% at 22kHz. At 430 x 372 x 118mm and 5kg, the HERITAGE D100 DAC maintains a substantial chassis consistent with YBA's broader considered engineering standards.

Sound and use context

Expect exceptionally clean, detailed conversion reflecting the extraordinary 125dB signal-to-noise and near-immeasurable 0.001% distortion figures, representing YBA's considered current digital source engineering within this heritage-styled product line.

Pairing

YBA's own amplifier catalogue offers a natural, brand-coherent pairing for this DAC.

Alternatives

YBA's own Genesis S2 Streamer DAC offers a network-streaming alternative within a different, more current product line.
