About the Alpha DAC Reference Series 2
The Alpha DAC Reference Series 2 is a two-channel digital-to-analog converter with AES/EBU, two BNC S/PDIF, and Toslink optical digital inputs, and balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA analog outputs. It supports PCM signals up to 24-bit/192 kHz, includes selectable digital filters and HDCD decoding, and provides remote-controlled digital volume and balance adjustment for direct connection to a power amplifier. It does not decode DSD and has no USB input; a separate USB-to-digital interface is needed for USB sources. The later MQA version is a distinct model and is not the product described here.
