Maximinus MK2S

About the Maximinus MK2S

The Thrax Audio Maximinus MK2S is a flagship digital-to-analog converter (DAC) featuring a proprietary R2R ladder multibit conversion with 1ppm precision, delivering an analog-like sound quality. It operates fully differentially with a 40Vp-p output for maximum signal integrity and uses transformer-coupled outputs without I/V conversion or reconstruction filtering, ensuring the purest possible output signal. The DAC includes advanced digital processing capabilities such as upsampling to 32bit/352.8kHz or 384kHz, selectable digital filters, reclocking with ultra-low phase noise clocks, and supports DSD decoding. It offers total galvanic isolation and transformer/optical decoupling on all inputs and outputs to eliminate noise and interference. The modular design allows for firmware upgrades and future hardware options. The unit is housed in a sealed solid aluminum enclosure for vibration damping and EMI/RFI shielding. It supports multiple digital inputs including coaxial, AES/EBU, optical, USB (optional), Ethernet, and Bluetooth, and provides balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA outputs. The Maximinus MK2S is Roon Ready and designed for audiophiles seeking uncompromising digital audio performance.
