NuPrime - EVODAC2 - Evolution DAC-2 Dual-Processor DAC
NuPrime - EVODAC2 - Evolution DAC-2 Dual-Processor DAC
Engineered for reference-level digital playback, the NuPrime EVODAC2 Evolution DAC-2 Dual-Processor DAC brings high-end precision and control to serious audiophile systems. Designed as a flagship component within the Evolution Series, the DAC-2 is ideal for system builders seeking ultra-low noise, lightning-fast response, and immersive resolution across both PCM and DSD sources. With dual processors handling independent tasks—USB signal processing and digital decoding—it delivers unparalleled clarity and tonal accuracy for high-performance stereo environments.
At the heart of the Evolution DAC-2 is a top-tier ESS Sabre 32-bit DAC paired with NuPrime’s proprietary power regulation and clocking architecture, supporting PCM up to 768kHz and native DSD512. One processor manages the asynchronous USB protocol and timing, while the second handles the decoding and digital filtering—ensuring jitter-free transmission and refined signal handling. Analog output is fully balanced, with RCA and XLR outputs for system flexibility. The unit also includes an analog resistor-ladder volume control for transparent preamp functionality, along with an advanced headphone amplifier for private listening sessions. Digital inputs include USB, optical, coaxial, and I²S via HDMI, making it a central hub for digital source playback.
For audiophiles demanding state-of-the-art digital resolution with analog richness and a black, noise-free background, the Evolution DAC-2 offers a premium platform that delivers both musicality and technical mastery. It’s a reference DAC that anchors even the most revealing systems with finesse and authority.
