Many are also digitally distributing their music using a sonos, squeezebox, or one of a host of digital music distribution systems available on the market. This is a great way to explore and appreciate music but generally it's done at the expense of sound quality. Until now music lovers have been forced to rely on the inferior digital to analog converters (DACs) and sounds cards contained in those devices. As a result, their musical enjoyment has dramatically suffered. We designed the dac25.3 to directly address this problem and to significantly improve the sound quality of the music played on these systems. By uniting a state of the art digital to analog converter with a tube output we produce the clarity precision of a 24bit DAC with warm rich open sound people love of tubes. The dac25.3 has 4 digital inputs which can accept coax (s/pdif), optical, XLR (AES/EBU), or USB digital input from an iPod transport, computer, media server, sonos, squeezebox, CD/DVD in stereo transport, music hall's own cd35.2 compact disc player, it will output two channel stereo analog.
