About the DAC.ZERO

Teorema Acustico's DAC.ZERO is a sophisticated digital-to-analog converter that utilizes Texas Instruments PCM1704K chips for its conversion process. It supports a wide range of sampling rates, including PCM (44-384 kHz) and DSD (2.8224 MHz for DSD64 and 5.6448 MHz for DSD128). The device incorporates three toroidal transformers for power supply, ensuring a high signal-to-noise ratio. It features a dual-mono configuration for improved timbre and fluidity, along with a gentle analog filter for enhanced sound quality. The DAC.ZERO includes multiple digital inputs (USB, SPDIF Coax, AES EBU, Optical) and offers a motorized volume control via infrared remote.
