Welcome to the DAC 3.1 product page..

We are very excited to bring you the long awaited DAC kit 3.1. This represents the ultimate in DAC kits; building upon the highly regarded and popular DAC Kit 2.1, the DAC Kit 3.1 comes with a new driver board (taken from the new L3 Line Mk2 Pre-amplifier) which then drives two 33:1 step-down output transformers.
Using such a transformer coupled output stage has many advantages both sonically and for matching purposes. It's low impedance output means that it will match with virtually any pre-amplifier or integrated amplifier - valve or transistor - making it highly versatile.
Here are some of the things that make this DAC kit a clear cut above the rest:

• Dual 5687 (individually heated) analog board - driving 33:1 output transformers.
  
• Digital and analog sections both have dedicated power supplies.
  
• Our highly praised M2 power supply is used for the analog section.
  
• No analog filtering (analog filtering has been totally removed).
  
• I/V transformers to maximize energy transfer in the digital to analog section coupling.
  
• USB digital input option.
  
• Digital board comes ready assembled.
  
• Highly configurable with a great range of options and upgrades available.
  
• Single-ended or Balanced configurations available
