The Gryphon Diablo 300 DAC Module is an optional internal digital-to-analogue converter board for the Gryphon Diablo 300 integrated amplifier. It adds five digital inputs—USB, AES/EBU, optical Toslink and two S/PDIF BNC connections—while retaining the amplifier’s analogue facilities. Its dual-mono, Class-A analogue output stage uses zero negative feedback and an ESS Sabre ES9018 DAC, with a dedicated 12.5 F SuperCap USB power supply designed to isolate the USB interface from computer-source power. The module supports high-resolution PCM and DSD playback, with selectable PCM and DSD filters through the Diablo 300 menu system. It is not a standalone DAC and requires a compatible Diablo 300 amplifier for installation and operation.
