About the DAC_II
The Little Dot DAC_II combines a high-quality 24-bit 192kHz Wolfson WM8740 DAC chip with a built-in headphone amplifier module using LME49710HA pre-stage and discrete BD139/BD140 transistor output stage. It supports multiple digital inputs including BNC, RCA coaxial, Toslink optical, and USB (standard USB audio device). The device allows user customization of bit-rate, maximum sampling frequency, and digital filter slope (sharp or gentle). It features a dual crystallizer re-clock circuit for jitter-free signal synchronization. The headphone amplifier delivers 300 mW RMS into 32 ohms, with a signal-to-noise ratio greater than 110 dB and dynamic range of 117 dB. The DAC outputs 2V RMS per channel via RCA non-balanced outputs. The unit measures 365mm x 217mm x 61mm and weighs 2.8 kg. It includes a 30-day return policy and two-year warranty.
