The Dac3 fulfills the original promise of digital music reproduction. It surpasses previous expectations of digital music quality. This performance results from a unique combination of design techniques, new technologies and the superb stability of our new Ultra-Clock: making the Dac3 a one of a kind product in the market.

The surpassing musical performance rests on the solid foundation of the Ultra-ClockT, a clock with performance found previously only from separate Master Clock products. The Ultra-ClockT provides jitter performance 50x better than other clocks. Specifications of 1 picoseconds RMS and frequency accuracy of 0.0001% define new benchmarks in clock stability. This Ultra-ClockT allows the Dac3 to reproduce music with new levels dynamic expression and accuracy of timbre. Your music communicates as never before, recalling the best of analog music reproduction, without the limitations of either analog or other digital technologies.
