Ask us which finishes, accessories and ordering options are available for the model you are considering.

Sources, outputs and space

The sources you use

Think about your streamer, computer or disc transport and the connections each needs. Input modules let the digital front end be arranged around those sources.

What comes after the DAC

Consider the connection to your preamplifier or power amplifier, including where volume is controlled. The analogue output needs to suit the next component.

Space for the complete system

Look at the converter, processing and power-supply arrangement together when planning your rack and cables.

If you would like help comparing the options, we are happy to discuss your system.
