About the Soekris dac1421
The Soekris dac1421 is a high-end digital-to-analog converter (DAC) that incorporates R-2R technology, specifically using a 27-bit sign-magnitude R-2R DAC. It features multiple digital inputs including SPDIF, AES, Toslink, and USB, supporting PCM up to 24-bit/384kbps and DSD up to DoP128 and DSD256. The DAC is equipped with a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) for digital processing, which includes selectable anti-aliasing filters and a digital volume control. The output stage is a high-speed, all-discrete, zero-negative-feedback amplifier, capable of switching between line and headphone modes. The headphone amplifier operates in high-bias Class AB for line output and higher Class A bias for headphone use, with an optional crossfeed circuit for soundstage control.
