The TOTALDAC d1-total digital-to-analog converter has been introduced – according to the company, this device guarantees the maximum possible for a single-block design with external PSU. “Under the hood”, in addition to the d1-triunity DAC converter, there is also volume control, a network streamer (latest version developed for the d1-streamer-live), 40 femtoseconds oscillators, a microfilter USB loop (developed for the d1-streamer-live) and anti-vibration supports.
TOTALDAC d1-total also offers live-clocking and live-power as options, as well as native DSD support. In the standard version, the model is equipped with 192 kHz asynchronous Xmos USB, RJ45 Ethernet input and supports signals up to PCM 24/192 and DSD DoP. The non-oversampling mode can be selected by the user via the remote control.
Traditionally for the company, the heart of TOTALDAC d1-total is R2R ladder technology (300 pieces of 0.01% VAR Vishay Bulk Metal Foil resistors) and class A discrete transistor output stage. An external power supply is used to minimize interference. The DAC is RoonReady certified.
