Description:
'Plug 'n Play' USB-DAC on a wire - impossible to connect incorrectly and it comes supplied with WireWorld Starlight USB cable (£99 for 1m) and Silver-Wire analogue leads with Eichmann Bullet RCA plugs.
Building on the solid foundation of the devilsound DAC, the new DAC HD by Halide Design features completely reworked electronics and upgraded cabling. The new architecture features the same Streamlength™ asynchronous USB
Inside the custom milled aluminum enclosure, advanced circuitry converts the digital signal from your computer into a pristine analog output for your stereo. This includes clever power conditioning dramatically improving upon the power derived from your computers USB supply.
In addition, the DAC HD features a special all-black version of the Wireworld Starlight USB cable. The silver-clad wiring on the cable and unique geometery separating the power and data lines allow cabling up to a full seven meters (optional) without loss.
Pure silver analog cabling, featuring the Eichmann silver bullet connectors, insure the audio signal arrives at the stereo without degredation.
As with the other Halide products, the DAC HD is cryogenically treated to maximize the sonics. Cryogenic treatement results in a smoother, more resolved sound.technology found in the Bridge, allowing for playback of high-resolution audio files with ultra-low jitter.
