APL DSD-MR MK2 DAC

Description

The APL DSD-MR MK2 DAC is our top-line Digital to Analog converter, specifically made for the most enthusiastic audiophiles who prefer analogue-like sound, comparable to state-of-the-art vinyl and respectable reel-to-reel machines.
It is an all-hand-made boutique, designed and built with the best possible audio quality in mind, cost-no-object.
Inspired by pure analogue sound quality, the APL DSD-MR MK2 DAC pleases with a very natural sonic character that is truly unique.
From the DSD512 processing rate to the differential transformer-coupled Class-A tube output stage, the DSD-MR proves technology and refinement of the highest level.
The DSD-MR MK2 is based on a modular design, allowing cost-effective future upgradability of any internal stage.
