The DAC Mytek Stereo 192 DSD-DAC is capable of processing not only DSD files "in their pure form" (that is, without their transformation into PCM formats), but also PCM signals with a bit rate of up to 32 bits and a sampling frequency of up to 192 kHz.
This is a modern DAC with USB or FW computer interface. It includes all the latest advances: asynchronous operations based on an ultra-stable internal clock with ultra-low jitter.
DACs from the American company Mytek Digital are assembled with hand-picked high-quality metal film resistors, low-resistance solid-state capacitors and other high-level components.
This DAC has a very wide set of digital inputs: USB (1.1 and asynchronous 2.0), Firewire, S / PDIF, AES / EBU, Toslink, as well as the input and output of the reference frequency generator signal. The DSD signal can be fed from the computer to the Firewire, USB 2.0 input. The analog signal can be taken from balanced XLR or unbalanced RCA outputs. Once again, I would like to note the presence of a high-quality output for headphones.
The main advantage is the ability to process DSD streaming. The Stereo192-DSD-DAC works with Mac or Windows operating systems, with new firmware updates available for download from the Mytek Digital website.
