DAC Marantz first signed, particularly the successful design, including the integration of a circular front panel display, an aluminum chassis and side walls adorned with painted wooden panels, the HD-DAC1 is based on a converter Cirrus Logic CS4398 and a symmetrical circuit design.
The DAC has a double clock to reduce jitter, each responsible for processing samples 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz, the HDAM-SA2 modules and the power supplied by a large toroidal transformer.
Section amp helmet accept impedance headphones from 32 to 600 ohms, a gain selector on three levels is also available on the front.
HD-DAC1 naturally provides support for audio files up to 192 kHz / 24 bit, and also features compatibility DSD 2.8 MHz / 5.6 MHz. More surprisingly, the presence of a front USB port allows playback of MP3, AAC, WMA, FLAC and WAV formats always practical.
The connector portion comprises a USB-B output for connecting a PC / Mac, RCA analog output on which it will be possible to associate with each other amp since the output is adjustable in fixed or variable, and finally two entries optical, one coaxial input and output 6.35 mm. Marantz HD-DAC1 will be available partor October 2014, retail price of € 799.
Features Marantz HD-DAC1:

- Has selectable headphone impedance (32-600 ohm)
- It is based on Cirrus Logic CS4398 (DSD capable)
- Comes in two colors of silver and black.
- It has a dedciated headphone section that is based on the HDAM-SA2 modules found on the other Marantz products already
- It has the ability to feed other amp as well as having input to act as an amp alone which suggest the headphone out is not to shabby.
