About the MHDT Laboratory Istanbul
The MHDT Laboratory Istanbul is a non-oversampling R-2R DAC built around a Burr-Brown PCM61P-K converter. It uses a discrete-transistor I/V stage without op-amps or feedback and a tube-based analog output stage compatible with 5670-family tubes and several equivalents. Digital inputs support 16- and 24-bit signals from 32 kHz to 192 kHz. The DAC is housed in a compact black chassis and provides USB, coaxial, BNC, and optical inputs.
