About the A Cappella III
The Musica Pristina A Cappella III is a high-end, third-generation network music player/streaming transport from Musica Pristina. It is designed to send precision-clocked digital audio to an external DAC rather than perform digital-to-analog conversion in its standard transport configuration. The unit uses an oven-controlled crystal oscillator, fanless construction, an internal ultra-low-noise linear regulated power supply, and a modular output architecture. Playback is controlled through Roon, while network and output configuration are handled through the Cambio web interface. The manufacturer currently lists the A Cappella III and offers configurable versions, so it does not appear to be discontinued.
