About the dac15.2

The Music Hall dac15.2 is a compact, three-input digital-to-analog converter designed to convert digital signals to analog output with high fidelity. It uses the Texas Instruments (Burr-Brown) PCM1796 24-bit/192kHz DAC chipset, providing 24-bit/96kHz processing via USB input and 24-bit/192kHz processing via optical and coaxial inputs. It features ultra-quiet external power supply and a rigid noise-rejecting extruded aluminum chassis to minimize interference. The unit includes USB, coaxial, and optical digital inputs, a coaxial digital output, and RCA analog outputs. It delivers low total harmonic distortion (<0.0012%), a frequency response of DC to 20kHz ±0.5dB, signal-to-noise ratio greater than 110dB, and dynamic range over 115dB (24-bit). The dac15.2 is plug-and-play compatible with PC and Apple computers, making it ideal for improving sound quality from digital sources such as computers, media servers, and streaming devices. Dimensions are approximately 10.7 cm (W) x 15.2 cm (D) x 5.2 cm (H), weighing about 450 grams. It is praised for competent performance though newer DACs may offer more optimized designs at similar or lower prices.
