Mytek Digital Stereo192-DSD D/A Converter Preamp Version Details

The Mytek Digital Stereo192-DSD D/A Converter Preamp Version is a slightly different version of the Mytek Digital Stereo192-DSD D/A Converter.

The Black Preamp version is intended for both computer audiophile playback and mastering/professional audio monitoring. A pair of unbalanced analog inputs can be selected in addition to all available digital inputs. As with the other inputs, it can be routed via the analog stepped attenuator to both main outputs and headphones. The “Black Preamp” version has the same functionality, specs, sound quality and firmware as the “Silver Preamp” version with the exception of the black front panel and the presence of LED level meters. Functionality, technical specs and sound quality are the same for all 3 versions with the exception of the analog vs. SDIF DSD inputs, color of panel and presence of LED level meters.

The Silver version is intended for computer audiophiles who prefer a minimalistic look with not too many lights. A pair of unbalanced analog inputs can be selected in addition to all available digital inputs. As with other inputs, it can be routed via the analog stepped attenuator to both main outputs and headphones. The “Silver Preamp” version has the same functionality, specs, sound quality and firmware as the “Black Preamp” version with the exception of the black front panel and the presence of LED level meters. Functionality, technical specs and sound quality are the same for all 3 versions with the exception of the analog vs. SDIF DSD inputs, color of panel and presence of LED level meters.

The Mytek Digital Stereo192-DSD-DAC is not just another USB DAC. It’s the next generation DAC with computer interface. It includes all the latest of both interface and conversion technology: asynchronous operation with ultra stable jitter free internal clock, 192k and DSD playback capability, the newest, high performance Sabre(tm) DAC in 8 mono channel to two stereo configuration, high performance hardware upsampling, new design of ultra transparent analog attenuator and high current, high slew rate headphone amp. All this assembled with hand picked high quality metal film resistors, solid and low impedance capacitors and other selected parts. Most importantly, countless listening comparisons lead to this design resulting in sonic detail and transparency superior not only to the competition but also to Mytek's own best designs to date.

This is one of the best DSD DACs I have ever heard, it is musical, plenty of detail, strong and tight bass. Awesome device!
