About the DSD-MR MK2
The APL Hi-Fi DSD-MR MK2 is a high-end digital-to-analog converter using APL’s proprietary conversion architecture rather than a conventional off-the-shelf DAC chip. It combines PCM-to-DSD processing, native DSD512 capability, proprietary femtosecond clocking and PLL circuitry, and a differential Class-A ECC99 tube output stage coupled to output transformers. Digital connectivity includes coaxial S/PDIF, AES/EBU, optical, USB and proprietary balanced DTR/LVDS inputs for use with compatible APL transports and network players. The analog output can be selected between balanced XLR and single-ended RCA, but both cannot be used simultaneously. Available listings and specialist dealer information indicate that the MK2 remains a current or recently offered product; a definitive manufacturer discontinuation notice was not found.
