The Verto D4S is a digital-to-analogue converter from Canor Audio, built around a sophisticated dual ES9038Q2M conversion configuration with comprehensive DSD format support. The Verto D4S brings Canor's more accomplished current engineering to standalone digital conversion.

Key specs that matter

Two ESS ES9038Q2M conversion chips handle digital-to-analogue conversion in a sophisticated dual-chip configuration. DSD compatibility reaches DSD512, with PCM support up to 24-bit/768kHz. Frequency response spans 20Hz to 20,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB. Output level is 4V balanced or 2V single-ended. Output impedance is 200 ohms balanced or 100 ohms single-ended. Signal-to-noise ratio exceeds an exceptional 112dB, with total harmonic distortion plus noise under an exceptionally low 0.0005% at 22kHz. At 430 x 75 x 300mm and 8kg, the Verto D4S represents a substantial DAC commitment reflecting Canor's more accomplished current engineering.

Sound and use context

Expect exceptionally clean, detailed conversion reflecting the exceptional over-112dB signal-to-noise figure and near-immeasurable 0.0005% distortion figure with the sophisticated dual-chip conversion configuration representing Canor's most accomplished current digital source engineering.

Pairing

Canor's own amplifier catalogue offers natural, brand-coherent pairings within the same broader catalogue.

Alternatives

Canor's own Gaia C2 offers a CD/SACD player alternative with built-in disc transport within the same broader digital source catalogue.
