Sixteen PCM1704 chips arranged in dual-differential, sequential Phase Array topology sit inside a single DAC in this build, and that's before accounting for the four separate CH Precision 10 Series components surrounding it, a genuine no-compromise electronics stack paired with custom-made speakers and a TechDAS Air Force One Premium turntable for what Hifiverse calls simply "Reference High-End."
The system at a glance
Five components, all built around CH Precision's flagship 10 Series electronics platform, and a design brief centred on custom-made loudspeakers rather than a name-brand off-the-shelf pair. This reference-tier build brings together CH Precision's most ambitious current engineering across preamplification, power amplification, digital conversion and phono duties simultaneously, backed by TechDAS's top turntable.
Why these components work together
The M10 Stereo power amplifier doubles the power-supply capacity of CH Precision's own previous-generation M1.1, delivering 550 watts per channel into 4 ohms with bandwidth extending to 500kHz, giving custom-built loudspeakers of essentially any demanding impedance profile serious current reserves to draw on. The L10 preamplifier retains the same fully discrete, balanced, complementary circuit architecture and R-2R volume control found throughout CH Precision's range, but adds ultra-short signal paths and even more highly filtered, multi-stage power supplies specifically to keep noise out of the way of the M10's substantial output. The C10 DAC's sixteen-chip PCM1704 array, arranged in dual-differential sequential phase, represents a different engineering philosophy from the single-chip delta-sigma converters most competing DACs rely on, using proprietary PEtER oversampling to extract resolution from a discrete R-2R conversion architecture instead of an off-the-shelf integrated circuit. The P10 phonostage, a dual-monaural twin-chassis design representing CH Precision's newest addition to the 10 Series lineup, extends that same reference-tier engineering to vinyl playback, feeding from the TechDAS Air Force One Premium, an air-bearing turntable the company states achieves rotational accuracy beyond conventional belt-drive designs and comparable to direct-drive systems.
How it sounds
With every stage of the signal chain, power amplification, preamplification, digital conversion and phono reproduction, built to the same uncompromising 10 Series standard, and custom loudspeakers specified to match, the system is positioned to deliver reference-level performance across both digital and analogue sources, exactly the "Ultra High-End is on the march" framing Hifiverse gave the build.
