The Stellar Gold DAC digital-to-analog converter is unique in that it uses 4 high-resolution DAC chips in each channel. The combined signal is then fed to a newly developed analog output stage implemented on discrete elements and operating in Class A. This approach has reduced noise and crosstalk, as well as improved linearity, resolution, and extended dynamic range beyond what can be achieved with a single DAC.
