The Playback Designs Dream MPD-8 is an ultra-high-end discrete DAC designed around isolated left/right circuitry, proprietary digital processing, and a high-quality analog volume control that can drive a power amplifier directly. It is the company’s Dream Series DAC companion to the MPT-8 transport and includes both conventional digital inputs and a proprietary PLINK fiber-optic interface for galvanically isolated digital transfer.
