Bel Canto DAC 1.5 Upsampling Audio Digital to Analog Converter w/Remote & Manual

Description: Bel Canto DAC 1.5 Upsampling Audio Digital to Analog Converter w/Remote & Manual WHO WE ARE SkyFi Audio is a small startup business specializing in the purchase, reconditioning, and reselling of high end audio equipment. We only buy equipment that we admire and are passionate about. No mid-fi, no gimmicks, no junk. Each piece of equipment is cosmetically restored and fully tested in our well-equipped lab by an engineer with 30+ years of experience in the HiFi world. If it does not meet or exceed the original manufactures specifications, it will not be sold. We are very selective about the equipment we purchase, focusing on mostly analog, high-build quality, American, and European built units. Through our sister company, which is an authorized dealer for McIntosh, Audio Research, Sonus Faber, ClearAudio, Project, and Sony ES, we have access to OEM parts, service, and support. ---------- "This solidly built easy to use and reasonably priced DAC from Minnesota does so many things well that depending upon your preferences and circumstances it may make your day. The DAC 1.5 offers a great deal of value and enjoyment for the money. There’s a lot to like here." - 6moons Tested and working as it should with no cosmetic or functional issues. The display is clear and bright, all controls are responsive, and on the test bench it was super quiet and capable. Design Features: • Master Reference Ultra-Clock with high rate jitter filter ensures maximum dynamic range from any source. • USB Link 24/96 Isolated computer audio input • Dedicated Headphone DAC/Amplifier stage • 4 Digit Green LED Display • External 12VDC switching supply with internal LC filtration • Critical analog supply filters using new Solid Polymer technology capacitors • 4 Vrms balanced output level to drive any amplifier The DAC1.5 musical performance rests on the solid foundation of the Master Reference Ultra-Clock TM, which provides jitter performance 50X better than other clocks. Specifications of 2 picoseconds RMS and frequency accuracy of 0.0001% ensure maximum dynamic range. The Ultra-Clock circuit is preceded by a new aggressive 2Hz jitter filter, ensuring that any incoming jitter on the data inputs can not compromise the final analog output signal quality. The DAC1.5 has been optimized to provide the highest level of performance for all of these critical functions. It can provide digital preamplifier as well as D/A conversion and bridge from traditional CD or DVD player sources and from the isolated USB input for computer music playback sources. All digital input sources benefit from the new 2Hz digital PLL stage that rolls off incoming jitter by more than 10X at 10Hz frequencies and greater than 10,000X by 100 Hz. Any incoming jitter at frequencies above 10Hz is reduced to levels that have no effect on measured or sonic performance. See page 8 for back panel. The dedicated headphone DAC/Amplifier stage is designed to drive any headphone with remarkable fidelity. This dedicated stage insures no compromise to either the main analog outputs or the headphone output. The main analog outputs are muted digitally when a headphone is plugged into the front panel jack. There is no additional switching of any analog signals or routing of analog lines. The headphone circuitry is all DC coupled, avoiding any sonic compromise due to coupling capacitors. The PCM1796 dual-differential multi-bit delta-sigma DAC circuit achieves remarkable analog performance. The 4VRMS true balanced XLR outputs provide 122dB of dynamic range. The noise floor of this DAC/processor is so low and so clean that the DAC1.5 is optimally uséd as a complete DAC/Preamplifier with a digital level control. Because of dither applied to the 24bit word there is no loss of effective resolution. The application of optimized dither insures that the analog output noise floor maintains a clean sound, devoid of any tones or artifacts. The DAC1.5 provides a quality system solution with the addition of a Bel Canto amplifier, eliminating the need for an analog preamplifier.

We have too many items for sale and it’s nearly impossible to keep track of offers outside of the official system. Please don’t message, email, or text any offers. **Please ensure your shipping address is correct within eBay as we ONLY ship to the eBay/PayPal Confirmed Shipping Address. No exceptions. TRADE IN POLICY: We accept trade-ins of equal or lesser value under certain conditions. Please visit our website to submit your gear for full consideration. We will only consider high-end equipment from mainstream manufacturers such as McIntosh, Mark Levinson, Audio Research, Krell, etc. and will typically pass on displays, projectors, receivers, dated surround processors, and mid-fi equipment of any type. We will offer a fair value for your equipment, but keep in mind we’re running a business and will need to be able to resell the equipment at a profit after investing a great deal of time and resources in testing, certifying, repairing, cleaning, and packaging the incoming equipment. If you’re looking for top dollar, we suggest selling direct on your own. SELL US YOUR GEAR (Working or Broken): We’ll also purchase your uséd or broken gear and arrange pickup if you’re in our local market. Simply visit our website to submit your gear for full consideration. SCHEDULING AN APPOINTMENT: We are currently operating from our shop inside our dedicated building in Glen Rock, NJ. You’re welcome to make an appointment if there’s a piece of equipment you’d like to see in operation before or after purchase. We have several well-equipped and dedicated listening areas, plus a dedicated listening studio with tons of equipment of all makes and models. We’re not a store, so please don’t make an appointment if you’re just curious as to how a speaker or piece of equipment sounds. In essence - no tire kickers please. You can message us here on eBay with any questions or to schedule an appointment. We can also arrange to install, calibrate, and tune your newly purchased gear in your listening room if you’re local to our area. This is super useful when purchasing large speakers or heavy amplifiers. It’s also great for ensuring your new turntable is setup correctly in its final resting place. eBay v1.3 Item Included Original Box No Manual Yes Remote Yes Cables Yes - Powr Physical Condition 7 Working Condition 10 eBay integration by
