CH Precision C10 DAC Receives Roon Certification

CH Precision C10 has officially received Roon certification – so the reference digital-to-analog converter from the renowned Swiss company now allows for more flexible integration into the Roon ecosystem. Let's recall the main points that distinguish the CH Precision C10 DAC from other High-End DACs.

CH Precision C10 DAC uses PEtER oversampling algorithm driven by 4 x 2.4GFLOPS DSP, and 16 x PCM 1704 R2R DACs in a dual differential, sequential DSQ Phase Array topology. The DSP operates at 32bit fixed point, before conversion to 24bit at the output, the native resolution of the PCM 1704. As a result, the DAC achieves data output rates of a phenomenal 64x Fs (2.8224/3.072MHz).

The CH Precision C10 DAC also features a full MQA decoder (unfolding and rendering) at 24bit/768kHz and uses a fully complementary, dual mono symmetrical circuit topology. The power supply is discrete, dedicated, fully regulated linear, ground separated. The built-in clock generator is ultra low jitter MEMS-based, thermally compensated Master Clock with dedicated, shunt regulated power supply.
