Berkeley Audio Design Alpha DAC Series 2


Berkeley Audio Design Alpha DAC Series 2
Product Highlights
- The Alpha DAC Series 2 employs new clocking and isolation technologies that provide enhanced imaging precision, timbrel purity and resolution.
- Unequaled interpolation technology up-samples 44.1kHz CD’s to provide almost 176.4kHz quality and produces superb fidelity at all sampling rates from 32kHz to 192kHz
- IR remote control of all functions including volume and balance allows direct connection to power amplifiers
- Advanced input signal jitter rejection
Controls & Indicators
