About the 1543 MKII
The Computer Audio Design 1543 MKII is a minimalist, computer-optimized USB DAC designed for use with a music server or computer. It uses one asynchronous USB input, one pair of unbalanced RCA outputs, and a highly stripped-down signal path to keep the digital chain as simple as possible. The design emphasizes galvanic isolation, custom low-noise clocking, a filterless NOS topology, and a modular acrylic chassis intended to support future upgrades.
