About the EVS Ric's Handmade

The EVS Ric's Handmade DAC is a modified digital-to-analog converter designed and hand-built by Ric Schultz. It features dual ESS DAC chips (such as ESS9038 Pro), a custom output stage, and high-quality components including premium capacitors, clocks, and transformers. The DAC supports DSD input, I2S input, and digital volume control. Ric Schultz's modifications focus on improving power supply quality, reducing noise, and enhancing detail and spatial resolution. The unit is known for its dense information retrieval, low noise floor, and dynamic soundstage, often outperforming much more expensive DACs. It is a one-man operation product, handmade with meticulous attention to detail, and is highly regarded in audiophile communities for its value and sonic performance.
