The EMM Labs DAC2X V2 is a high-end, two-channel digital-to-analog converter featuring EMM Labs’ MDAT2 up-converting DSP, MFAST jitter-rejection technology, MCLK master clock, galvanically isolated USB Audio, and proprietary discrete dual-differential DSD512/8xDSD conversion architecture. It accepts digital audio through EMM Optilink, AES/EBU, coaxial S/PDIF, optical S/PDIF, and USB Audio inputs, and provides balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA analog outputs. The DAC2X V2 is listed by EMM Labs in its Legacy Products section, indicating that it is no longer part of the manufacturer’s current product range. Some published documentation differs regarding maximum internal processing and input capabilities; the specifications below distinguish the manufacturer-reported capabilities where possible.
