About the 1012
The Boulder 1012 DAC Preamplifier is a reference-grade component designed to exceed the performance of separate DAC and preamplifier pairs. It features four digital and four analog inputs, including a high-quality phono stage for both MM and MC cartridges. The unit employs Boulder's proprietary 'Upandoversampling' DSP technology, using dual 24-bit Burr-Brown processors to upsample digital sources up to 705.6kHz, delivering exceptional clarity and detail. The analog section includes a 3-stage, 6-pole Bessel filter for low distortion and accurate sound reproduction. The 1012 is built with a rigid, pressure-fitted chassis and offers comprehensive remote control, programmable input levels, and a solid-state volume attenuator with 0.5dB steps over a 100dB range.
