About the Olympia DX
The PBN Audio LLC Olympia DX is a high-end, two-chassis digital-to-analog converter (DAC) paired with the external CPS-D power supply. Its fully differential architecture uses four Burr-Brown PCM1704K-grade R-2R DACs (the manufacturer also describes the design as HB-DAC1704 v2.0), followed by PBN’s all-FET current-to-voltage converter, a second-order 100 kHz Bessel analog filter, and a common-mode-rejection output buffer. It provides five digital inputs, with three usable simultaneously, and offers both buffered/filtered and direct unbuffered outputs on balanced and RCA connections. Available manufacturer material and current PBN listings identify it as the Olympia DX DAC with CPS-D/CPSiD power supply; no formal discontinuation notice was found.
