Description
M-DAC Mini
Like the M-DAC+, the M-DAC mini is equipped to process PCM audio data up to 32-bit/384kHz via USB, ensuring it is primed to take full advantage of hi-res digital sound both now and in the future. The USB input also supports DSD64, DSD128 and DSD256.
Eschewing the space-saving compromise often inherent in portable DAC designs, M-DAC mini has sufficient internal space to enable the inclusion of discreet audiophile-grade components in key circuits. A small form factor makes M-DAC mini easy to carry and place wherever needed, untethered to the mains supply thanks to its rechargeable battery.
Performance is paramount throughout the M-DAC mini’s circuit design. For example; while most portable DACs control volume in the digital domain (which results in lost bits and reduced signal quality) the M-DAC mini uses a high-quality analogue potentiometer like those found in full-size hi-fi separates.
M-DAC mini combines advanced digital-to-analogue conversion with a high-performance Class-A JFET output stage and dedicated headphone amp section, delivering superb sound whether hooked up to an amplifier and speakers, or when feeding active speakers, or when driving a pair of quality headphones.
The inclusion of battery power for the first time in an M-DAC component is not simply about portability. It also benefits performance, supplying clean and stable DC power – free from the distortion introduced by common switch-mode power supplies, yet without the need for a bulky, costly audiophile-grade mains PSU.
A mains charger is included, and when connected to the mains, both iOS and Android devices can be charged directly from your M-DAC mini.
