Rocky Mountain Audio Fest 2012 Hot Product
M2Tech's new
E-Vaughan DAC ($7999) uses 32-bit/384kHz DACs and connects via USB, I2S, S/PDIF and
AES/EBU. It also features volume control, a headphone amp, and a battery power supply. The
only thing keeping it from being a full-fledged line-stage preamp is analog inputs.
Also new is the E-Joplin
analog-to-digital converter (top, $2499), which has 32-bit/384kHz DACs as well. Its built-in phono stage works in conjunction with 16 preset
EQ curves, allowing owners to digitally remaster their records with proper equalization. |
