Developed on Audiolab’s famous award winning M-DAC platform, Q-DAC offers the sound quality that made M-DAC the most highly regarded Digital to Analog Converter in its field, but achieves it with simpler functionality.
At the heart of Q-DAC is the extraordinary ESS Sabre DAC chip, an 8 channel 32-bit processor that excels in handing the full bit depth and ultrasonic extension of high resolution audio files with incredible precision and accuracy.
To that amazing DAC Audiolab’s engineers have added a fully asynchronous interface coupled to a minimum jitter Master Clock system that ensures freedom from the undesirable side effects of jitter.
Q-DAC also retains the digital pre-amp and headphone amp functionality marking it one of the most versatile DAC’s on the market. With Q-DAC Audiolab has added yet another industry leading DAC to its stable of digital products.
