Audiolab is proud to launch its new standalone Digital to Analogue Converter, the M-DAC! Having been the missing piece in Audiolab’s arsenal since the release of the award-winning 8000DAC in 1992, the M-DAC has a smart styling and solid build, with ample connectivity.

Alongside the USB input with asynchronous data processing, there are two each of coaxial and optical digital inputs, while you can choose from optical, coaxial, RCA single-ended and XLR balanced audio outputs. A high quality Class-A headphone amplifier is also built in to satisfy the headphone fanatic.

A wand like remote control handset allows you to switch inputs, select from preset digital filters and alter the display. The large clear screen allows you to see what input is being used and the sample rate being received. High-res 24-bit/192kHz music files can be played on the M-DAC via the coaxial input, while optical and USB inputs support 24-bit/96kHz data.
