StellarGold DAC
Once in a great while, an exciting new product design direction comes along that really sets a new standard
for performance within a price range.
Such is the all new StellarGold DAC, a product that will raise the bar for any digital to analog converter at
anywhere near the price.
What makes the new StellarGold DAC unique is its use of multiple parallel DACs.
Each channel of the StellarGold is built by paralleling 4 high resolution digital to analog converters, then
feeding the combined output of these DACs into an all new discrete class A analog output stage.
The results are nothing short of stunning.
The use of multiple high-precision DACs to form one ultra-linear channel has the advantage of lowering noise
and channel crosstalk while at the same time increasing linearity, dynamic range, and resolution beyond what
any single DAC technology can achieve.
One listen to this amazing new DAC and you'll know why it easily outperforms single DAC designs.
Octo DAC, Diamond performance
The StellarGold DAC is an extraordinary feat of engineering.
By combining the outputs of four high-performance D to A converters for each channel, the StellarGold DAC
achieves extraordinarily low noise and distortion that rivals any DAC at any price.
Combine its state-of-the-art performance with its fully discrete, wicked fast, class A gain stage and you find
StellarGold to represent one of the best sounding components in your system.
Come learn more about this extraordinary DAC.
Design
The new StellarGold DAC, with its advanced parallel DAC architecture, takes advantage of performance
standards unavailable to single DAC designs.
By using multiple DACs in parallel, individual non-linearities of each DAC tend to average out.
This is because the probability of all DACs having the exact same non-linearity error at the same digital
input value is nearly zero.
The results are nothing short of breathtaking.
One listen to this DAC, and you'll know it's in an entirely different category from others at anywhere near
its price range.
Application
PS Audio's StellarGold DAC can become the centerpiece of a high-resolution 2-channel audio system.
Using StellarGold's balanced or single-ended outputs into our matching StellarGold preamplifier or, using
its built-in lossless volume control, the StellarGold DAC can become the heart of a true state-of-the-art
high-performance audio system at an affordable price.
