The SmartDAC-One has been developed as a high end 24bit/192khz upsampling digital pre-amplifier that can be interfaced with any modern digital audio platform and be directly connected to any solid state or vacumum tube power amplifiers, without requiring any additional pre-amplifier in the audio chain.

These would include devices such as Logitech Squeezebox, CD, DVD, BlueRay players, Set-Top Boxes, DVR, PC Audio, Audio/Video media players, Large flat panel TVs which have coaxial SP/DIF or optical digital audio interfaces. As well as studio quality AES devices via the balanced AES digital input.

The SmartDAC is fully microprocessor controlled in the area's of the input selection, audio attenuation, sample rate conversion and direct main DAC setup.

The digital volume control in practical terms is completely lossless and doesn't add any additional noise or distortion to the audio signal.

The SmartDAC come swith a very cool looking IR remote control for input selection and digital volume attentuation.

The SmartDAC USB port is currently been used as a USB mass storage device and is accessible for firmware updates in Windows, Linux and iMAC OS/X operating systems.
