Keces 131 MKII:
- Easy Installation: As with all SPDIF DACs, simply power on, plug in the digital and analog cables, and enjoy!
- Full 24bit/192KHz Support: Unlike to most other DACs, DA-131 Mk2 can fully support 24bit/192KHz sample rate via SPDIF input, while most other DACs can only support up to 24bit/96KHz due to limitation of their SPDIF receiver.
- Highly Refined Design: As with DA-151 Mk2, the circuit design of DA-131 Mk2 has been refined over the years for better sound and higher performance.
- Quality Components: Using state-of-the-art National Semiconductor's LME49710 op amp, carefully designed supporting circuits, and a fully balanced analog power supply and fully balanced DC output circuit. All done in the never ending quest for better sound.
- Precision Power Circuits: Independent digital and analog power supply, with independent winding and precision regulation circuits to provide high quality power to both digital and analog sections of the circuit.
- Custom Low Noise Toroidal Transformer: Ultra low noise and efficient custom transformer is used in all KECES products, providing very clean power with high maximum output.
- Compact & Stylish: Sturdy metal chassis with smoked acrylic top cover, it looks perfectly at home whether it is on your desk or on the stereo rack.
- Performance Upgrade: Computer grade IEC power inlet is upgradeable to IeGO Audio Grade sockets at the time of order.
- For even better dynamics, detail and an overall balanced and neutral tone, IeGO AG-R301 99.99% pure silver IEC socket ($90USD) would be the ultimate upgrade. This upgrade is included and installed from the factory.
Neat and tight interior, circuit and component layout are all highly optimized.
