The Swissonic DA96 is a professional 4-channel D/A converter. The four fully balanced analog outputs provide cross-coupled high current output buffers and can drive up to 300 m cable lenght. Linear-phase reconstruction filters deliver superior sound quality on all kinds of audio material. The ADAT optical input supports bit packed/sample packed ADAT formats, enabling playback of 24/96 data from conventional ADAT machines. The dual PLL data receivers effectively eliminate clock jitter while tolerating very noisy input data.
