About the DAC1 MK4
The Accustic Arts DAC1 MK4 is a high-end digital-to-analog converter featuring advanced 66 bit/1536 kHz converter technology. It supports digital inputs including 1 x AES/EBU balanced (XLR) and 2 x S/P-DIF unbalanced inputs. The DAC1 MK4 delivers a dynamic range of 130 dB (A weighted at 192 kHz sampling rate), crosstalk of 121 dB at 1 kHz, and an extremely low total harmonic distortion plus noise (THD+N) of 0.0002%. It is praised for its natural and fluid sound presentation, refined treble, and richly textured voices and instruments, providing an organic listening experience comparable to vinyl. However, it may lack a bit of drive and dynamic punch in some recordings. The build quality is robust and precise, typical of German engineering. It is often paired with the Accustic Arts Drive 1 Mk2 transport for a complete CD playback system. The DAC1 MK4 is positioned as a top-tier audiophile component with a price around £6185 (approximately ).
