General Information
γ1 is a high-performance, full-featured DIY stereo digital-to-analog converter (DAC) for portable and home use. Designed to be housed in a very compact enclosure, its footprint is almost exactly the size of a credit card, and about 0.9" (23mm) thick. Despite the size, a full-configuration γ1 has S/PDIF coaxial and optical digital inputs as well as a USB interface. Ideal for computer audio, CD/DVD players and digital media players, γ1 offers an economical DIY alternative to costly commercial DACs. Its 1.5Vrms analog output provides line-level interface to a stereo preamp, headphone amplifier or other device. The low output impedance and high output current capability allows a long interconnect cable to be used without degradation.
