Description
Selling my Emotiva Stealth DC-1 Differential DAC and Preamp. Really an amazingly built piece of gear that sounds and looks amazing. Perfect for a smaller desktop setup or for a reduced foot-print main system, which is how I used it for the past few years, using its analog input for my turntable and balanced outputs to connect to a vintage amplifier. Dual fully differential AD1955 DACs, one chip per channel, is still a rarity in this price-range. Feel free to ask any question.Comes with a solid metal remote in perfect condition, all original literature and box. FROM THE USER MANUAL Features: The Stealth DC-1 is a full featured 24-192 stereo PCM DAC which combines unerringly accurate sound with flexible input and output options and a sophisticated menu and control system. Support for all popular sample rates. The Stealth DC-1 supports 44.1k, 48k, 88.2k, 96k, 176.4k, and 192k sample rates, at both 16 bit and 24 bit word lengths, from ALL of its inputs - including USB. A full complement of digital inputs. The Stealth DC-1 has a full selection of digital inputs, including: AES/EBU (XLR), Toslink (optical), Coax S/PDIF (RCA), BNC S/PDIF, and high performance USB. Analog inputs. The Stealth DC-1 has one unbalanced stereo analog input, which can be used to attach legacy gear - like the output of a phono preamp or tuner. High performance Asynchronous USB. The C-Media CM-6631A high performance USB interface chip provides enhanced jitter immunity and excellent audio performance. Advanced ASRC (asynchronous sample rate converter) reduces jitter, yet preserves original sample rate. The advanced ASRC implementation in the DC-1 eliminates jitter on all inputs (not just USB), yet lets you hear your music unaltered - at its original sample rate. Dual fully differential AD1955 DACs. The Stealth DC-1 is fully differential, and uses dual independent Analog Devices AD1955 precision multi-bit delta-sigma DACs, each operated in their highest-quality internal differential monaural mode, for exceptionally low noise and distortion. Precision LM4562 op amps. The DC-1 uses all high quality LM4562 op amps in the output signal path for excellent audio performance. Dual Muses 72320 digitally controlled analog ladder volume control chips. The volume for each fully differential channel is controlled by a separate Muses 72320 precision volume control IC, operated in our unique and proprietary dual gain control mode (by simultaneously controlling both signal level and the gain of the gain stage itself, this technique optimizes the signal handling at various gain levels to achieve the absolute best noise and distortion performance at any given setting). Galvanically isolated digital inputs. The AES/EBU and electrical S/PDIF inputs on the DC-1 are all transformer isolated to ensure signal purity and stability and help eliminate signal ground noise. Intelligent headphone outputs. The headphone outputs on the DC-1 are driven by a pair of high current, low distortion BUF634 buffers - driven by our proprietary input buffer circuitry; their low output impedance ensures accurate frequency response and low distortion into real world headphone loads. Output levels for main and headphone outputs are independently controlled and retained in memory Sophisticated menu system and high visibility OLED display. The menu system on the Stealth DC-1 is controlled via a front panel digital encoder. Sample rate, level, and menu options are clearly displayed on a bright, easy to read, blue OLED display. The display can be dimmed to five different brightness levels, and is intelligent enough to return temporarily to full brightness when the Setup Menu is engaged. Pro output levels. The DC-1 delivers professional output levels via its balanced outputs - so it can interface properly with other pro equipment, and consumer levels on its unbalanced outputs - to avoid overloading legacy unbalanced inputs. High quality, tightly regulated, linear power supply. Power for the precision circuitry in the Stealth DC-1 is provided by a linear power supply, with a hefty toroidal power transformer, and multiple stages of filtering and linear regulation. Solid steel case. The solid steel case on the Stealth DC-1 provides excellent noise shielding, protection from mechanical damage, and a soild “no nonsense” feel. Convenient 1U half-width case with “Stealth” styling. The Stealth DC-1 has a convenient half-rack width form factor, which allows two units to be placed side by side on a standard rack shelf, and makes it easy to install the DC-1 in a small audio rack or next to (or on top of) a computer. The DC-1’s “stealth” styling is right at home in a studio or high-end home audiophile sound system. High quality construction. Inside, the DC-1 uses four layer FR4 circuit boards, precision film resistors, and other top quality parts to ensure years of trouble-free operation.
