Canor DAC 2.10 D/A Converter with Tube-Based Output
Canor DAC 2.10 uses the dual mono configuration of the ES9038Q2M digital-to-analogue converters from ESS Sabre, which ensure high sound quality.
Highlights
- Dual mono configuration of digital to analogue converters from ESS Sabre
- The consistently symmetrical signal path
- The output part is analogue (tube-based)
Main Features
Converter Filters
Seven digital converter filters for PCM format and one proprietary for MQA format - so the listeners can adjust the sound exactly to their liking.
Signal Processing
The signal from the digital inputs is processed by a powerful multi-core XMOS microcontroller with an advanced Multi-Core RISC architecture.
Power Transformer
To remove mechanical hum, the transformer core is vacuum impregnated, and the entire transformer is encapsulated in a special anti-vibration compound. In addition, the massive, welded cover in which the transformer is located creates effective electromagnetic shielding and contributes significantly to the excellent signal-to-hum distance.
Product Features
- Thanks to used converters, it is possible to play files in PCM formats up to a sampling frequency of 768 kHz and for DSD format up to Native DSD512 via the USB input, thus covering most digital files that you can normally play, buy or stream.
- It uses the dual mono configuration of the ES9038Q2M digital-to-analogue converters from ESS Sabre, which ensure high sound quality.
- The analogue output is a buffer, which is solved by a high-quality electronic connection
- Dual converter wiring uses separate signal paths for the left and right channels.
- There are seven digital converter filters for PCM format and one proprietary for MQA format, which is set automatically during MQA playback.
- The last (eighth) item in the digital filter menu “Oversampling Bypass” can be selected. But it’s not a digital filter, as it’s turning off digital filtering for the ability to compare audio without filtering…
