Key specs that matter

A built-in DAC handles conversion, with DSD compatibility reaching DSD512 and PCM support up to 32-bit/768kHz - comprehensive format support. Frequency response spans 2Hz to 22,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB. Output level reaches 3V on both balanced and single-ended connections. Signal-to-noise ratio reaches an exceptional 127dB, with total harmonic distortion plus noise at an exceptionally low 0.0001% at 22kHz - reference-tier figures. At 95 x 438 x 413mm and 12.7kg, the DMS-700 represents a substantial digital source commitment.

Sound and use context

Expect exceptionally clean, detailed conversion reflecting the extraordinary 127dB signal-to-noise and near-immeasurable 0.0001% distortion figures - these measurements place the DMS-700 among the cleanest-measuring streaming DACs available.

Pairing

The 3V balanced or single-ended output connects directly to a preamplifier or integrated amplifier, and Cary Audio's own amplifier catalogue offers a natural, brand-coherent pairing.
