Introducing the M3 Digital to Analog Converter

Medford, MA: The Model 3 digital to analog converter offers an incredible array of performance in a more affordable price class. Highlights include two fully differential conversion channels, separate conversion for PCM and native DSD, and a balanced analog level control circuit, making the M3 suitable for all applications.

The M3 utilizes two independent linear power supplies for the analog and digital processing to ensure low noise and superior isolation. A newly designed chassis made from robust CNC milled aluminum in sections insures superior thermal characteristics, excellent vibrational damping and shielding from RF.

The M3’s digital design employs precision DDS clocking that lowers jitter to extremely low levels, insuring a pure digital signal path without the use sample of rate converters, this combined with superior digital filter design, and Native DSD conversion yields a state of the art digital audio path. The M3’s high speed low distortion analog path features a bypass-able preamp class analog level control allowing the M3 to be used to drive the power amps directly, with no bit loss for optimal analog performance.

The M3 comes standard with USB, AES, Toslink and SPDIF interfaces and can be ordered with an optional remote and optional network streamer interface which allows the M3 to become a DNLA UPnP compatible network player. The M3’s player supports sample rates up to 384k PCM and DSD128 as DoP.

Available for immediate delivery. Price is $4995.

Native DSD

The M3 features a true one bit analog modulator of our own design and unique to the industry for DSD conversion. The result is a true a pure Native DSD play back unlike any other converter in the market.

Options:

Network: The M3 can be ordered with our network streamer interface to allow the M3 to become a DNLA compatible network player. The M3’s player supports sample rates up to 384k PCM and DSD128 as DoP.

Remote: The M3 can be ordered with an optional IR remote controller.
