About the 1543 MKIII
The Computer Audio Design 1543 MkIII is a minimalist, computer-based digital-to-analog converter designed around a no-compromise NOS (non-oversampling) R2R architecture. It uses 20 Philips TDA1543 multibit DAC chips, a custom asynchronous USB input, passive output coupling with Duelund capacitors, and extensive power-supply isolation and conditioning. It is aimed at users of USB audio servers and streamers and is positioned as a highly purist DAC with a single input and a single pair of RCA outputs.
