The APL Hi-Fi HAS-M is a boutique digital-to-analog converter designed and hand-built by APL Hi-Fi, a Bulgarian company known for its high-end audio equipment. It features asynchronous USB input, AES/EBU, and coaxial S/PDIF inputs. The DAC section uses an unprecedented number of 20 AKM AK4399 32-bit DAC chips per channel, delivering exceptional resolution and sound quality. The design emphasizes low jitter and high fidelity with proprietary digital processing and filtering. The HAS-M is part of APL's modular and upgradeable product line, sharing design philosophies with other models like the DSD-M and DSD-S. It is aimed at audiophiles seeking a transparent, detailed, and dynamic digital front-end for their Hi-Fi systems.
