In the Thread: Reference Recordings “digital master” and Berkeley's new DAC
Post Subject: The Berkeley's new DACPosted by Romy the Cat on: 2/5/2008
Well, it looks like the new Berkeley's DAC moved from development and prototype into production. I most likely will have a change to trying in a couple weeks but I do not know at this point if I will do it. The final version of Berkeley's Alfa DAC has some moments that I do not like. The 192K sampling rate means the presents of 48x clock – not a good sign to me. It also looks like it will have just one digital input- not good as well. The biggest thing to me is that they meant to sell this DAC apparently only to Morons who would use it as a preamp, driving directly the power amps. It means that DAC will have on-board digital attenuation – which is a colossal “no-way” in my books. I wonder if to max out all Berkeley's digital attenuators then how configurable would this processor be?
