General informations
The new CEC FROM 5 is a top-level converter capable of imposing itself at the center of the listening scene whether you are playing music through a CD transport or listening to music files at maximum resolution in DSD-256 by connecting it to a Music Server or a PC, whether the CEC DA5 is used for headphone listening or as a digital volume level control (as a preamplifier).
The CEC DA-5 provides inspiration and musical sense with its remarkable ability to reproduce liquid music at the highest resolutions. The digital signals supplied by the transport mechanism are completely converted into analog signals, without any distortion.
Compatible with i encoding formats PCM up to 384 kHz and DSD 256/11.2 MHz .
A high-performance operational amplifier allows pleasant listening through headphones even at high volume; while the ability to fully adjust the output level allows the CEC DA-5 to be used as the center of the audio system (operating as a real preamplifier).
The digital to analog signal conversion is processed by the chip ESS Hyper Stream ES9018K2M DAC , capable of supporting 32bit - 384kHz PCM and 11.2 MHz - DSD 256 audio streams.
Exceptional channel separation and a wide dynamic range achieve the result of being able to reproduce music with incredible breadth and with a wide and deep sound stage.
The CEC DA 5 offers two different video settings digital filters : " FLAT ", a standard filter with extremely linear frequency response up to 20kHz, and " PULSE ", an optimized, oscillation-free pulse filter, featuring a smoother roll-off below 20kHz.
