Merging Technologies 700342 Overview
The Merging Technologies DA8P Premium D/A Output Card (DXD/DSD) allows you to customize your Horus or Hapi interface with 8 channels of analog line outputs. This second-generation DA8P card features a high-performance ESS ES9028PRO DA converter chip that delivers impressive specs with typical Dynamic Range of 127 dB A-weighted and THD+N in excess of -116 dB. The card also incorporates new refinements by adding local Low Phase Noise Oscillator circuitry to further improve the absolute transparency and stereo image of your analog signal, making it essentially void of both jitter and wander.
This DA8P Premium variant works at sampling rates up to 192 kHz as well as high-resolution DXD/384 kHz and DSD64, DSD128, and DSD256, ensuring that you play back every sound with the greatest accuracy.
