About the CAD Audio

“Computer Audio Design CAD Audio” appears to refer to Computer Audio Design (CAD), the UK specialist manufacturer, rather than the unrelated CAD Audio microphone/headphone brand. CAD’s current flagship is the 1543 Mk III, a USB-only, non-oversampling (NOS), filterless resistor-ladder DAC. It uses twenty vintage Philips TDA1543 multibit DAC chips, asynchronous galvanically isolated USB input, and single-ended RCA analogue outputs. The design is intended for computer/audio-server playback and relies on PCM playback rather than DSD or MQA.
