Olympia DX

About the Olympia DX

The PBN Audio Olympia DX is a flagship digital to analog converter (DAC) designed for ultra high-end HiFi audio systems. It features an all-FET circuit design powered by an external CPS D power supply with a 375VA transformer and high-capacity 80,000 µF filter capacitance. The unit includes eight heavy-duty filtering chokes to ensure extremely precise and clean current supply. It offers five digital inputs, with three usable simultaneously, including RCA, Balanced, 75 Ohm BNC, Balanced, and USB inputs supporting up to 24-bit/96kHz and 2MHz. The outputs include filtered and buffered balanced and RCA, as well as unfiltered and non-buffered outputs taken directly from the I/V converter stage. The design incorporates targeted use of Caddock™ resistors for critical circuit components. The DAC chassis measures 19"W x 4.5"H x 15"D, with a separate power supply measuring 9.5"W x 4.5"H x 15"D. It is noted for its exceptional dynamic range, clarity, and ability to handle both subtle and powerful musical passages without distortion, making it suitable for demanding audiophile environments.
