Kassandra Signature LE is a digital-to-analog converter with a tube output stage. The conversion is carried out using 12 parallel connected AD1865N-K chips per channel, which are multi-bit converters with R-2R matrices with a resolution of 18 bits (24 R-2R matrices); an external power supply unit with rectifiers on gas burners, 5 toroidal transformers and a large capacity storage capacitors.The parallel connection provides higher linearity and reduced noise.
