Tube DAC

We've built an interesting DAC for a local customer - a dual topology tube DAC! It has switchable DACs with a NOS (Non Over Sampling) DAC and a high resolution modern oversampling DAC. 

Features
Switchable dual DAC 
Driver Tube: NOS Mullard EL821 Triode Connected
Rectifier Tube: GEC 5Z4G 
DAC1: NOS TDA1545A quad paralled
DAC2: ESS ES9023
Transformers
* Level 3 Nanocrystalling Double C Preamp OPT 10K: 300 Ohm
* Level 2 EI Z11 power transformers and chokes
Solid full ALU chassis with CNC cut ventilation holes and tube holes
5MM FR4 PCBA for tube mounting
Special vibration and EMI/RFI tuning from 3io's 
Ultra low noise regulators array for DAC

Sound - dynamic, extended on both ends, excellent PRAT, warm and thick vocals.


Time for some pictures of this very unique and high end tube DAC. Apologies for the low lighting. Our semi-pro camera man still needs time to get used to his new full frame Canon SLR.





Some internal pictures. This guy is whopping 20KG!






Full system view - Acapella Violon4, Wavac PRT1 preamp, J&K EL84 PP amplifier, REL reference subwoofers (x3), Wavac 805 mono-block power amps, Wavac 300B power amp + full set of Wavac regulators, and etc.
