MUSICIAN Aquarius R2R Array RCA XLR Balanced Output Digital Audio DAC

AQUARIUS R2R DAC

With its beautiful and stylish appearance, featuring a simple design and solid manufacturing quality. It offers multiple digital input options for versatile connectivity.

Classic Two-Tone Design

The AQUARIUS R2R DAC boasts a classic two-tone design with a body made of metal aluminum, crafted with high-precision CNC processing. This construction provides a comfortable grip and adds modern beauty to the industrial design.

R2R Array DAC True Balance

Equipped with a true balance R2R array DAC, each channel features an independent high-speed FPGA for decoding with 4 sets of 0.005% R-2R networks. This setup ensures low distortion, high decoding speed, and minimal digital noise, resulting in outstanding audio signal quality.

Self-Developed Technology for Outstanding Sound

The AQUARIUS R2R DAC utilizes self-developed and designed digital filters, operating in 16x oversampling mode with 32-bit input resolution for each filter stage. This technology enhances dynamic contrast, analysis, and delivers a more natural and delicate timbre.

Burn-in Time and Output Recommendations

The burn-in time for AQUARIUS DACs is recommended to be one week, with standby or powered-on usage for 24/7 (300 hours) to achieve optimal performance. It's advised not to connect RCA or XLR outputs simultaneously to avoid signal degradation. The XLR output is preferred for superior performance.

Multiple Interfaces

The AQUARIUS R2R DAC offers complete digital audio input interfaces, supporting high-definition audio decoding and playback output. It includes optical, USB, 2x I2S, AES balance, and coaxial inputs to cater to different equipment usage needs.

Tailored for Superior Sound

Powered by the main control ALTERA high-efficiency chip, the AQUARIUS R2R DAC ensures distortion-free audio signal transmission, meeting HiFi standard hardware requirements. Its dual crystal oscillator design accurately restores audio signals with different sampling rates, reducing jitter and enhancing stability.

Packaged Linear Power Supply

The power supply of the AQUARIUS R2R DAC features a thick metal package and is equipped with an O-Type transformer. It employs a linear regulator to effectively isolate digital and analog parts of the multi-level power supply, ensuring low noise and stable power supply voltage for superior DAC performance.
