DAC200 Signature

The converter DAC200 Signature has been implemented to give you the best of your favourite music. Many believe that the secret to a good converter lies in choosing a high-end” converter chip. If this is important, we know that the essence of the musicality also resides in the line signal processing stages, the power supplies (transformers, filtering, regulation), the digital signal processing before conversion, the quality of the key components: clocks, transistors, capacitors, etc.

  • 8 mm brushed aluminium front.
  • 3 independent linear transformers (including 2 reserved for the audio line).
  • SABRE ES9028PRO Converter (32 bits/768 kHz):
             – Dynamic: 133 dB.
             – THD at 1 kHz (0 dBF): – 120 dB.
             – Signal/Noise ratio: 129 dB.
  • SABRE ES9311EQ power supply with very low noise (<1 μVrms).
  • Ultra-high precision low jitter clock.
  • Asynchronous USB-B input can convert PCM up to 768 kHz and DSD64, 128, 256 and 512 (XMOS USB interface with a specific program designed for ATOLL).
  • Volume management by the converter. Can be disabled (BY-PASS ON or OFF).
  • Unbalanced and balanced line outputs.
  • 12 independent voltage regulations.
  • Balanced power supply of the output audio stages (linear transformers).
  • MKP technology link capacitors.
  • High-frequency capacitors with silver mica technology.
  • Output stages with discrete components, without feedback, polarized in class A.
  • Separate digital and line stage power supplies.
  • Specific transformer for digital stages.
  • Standard ATOLL global remote control.

Type of files read:

S/PDIF inputs can support PCM up to 192 kHz.
USB-B can convert PCM up to 768 kHz and DSD64, 128, 256 and 512.
(This performance may vary depending on the software or operating systems of the USB source).

XMOS SPECIFIC DRIVER

Important: using the USB input of the optional DAC card requires downloading a specific driver for Windows computers. This can be downloaded below. This driver is not necessary under MAC and Linux.

Download it here:

XMOS-Stereo-USB-Audio-Class2-Driver-30BB_v4.13.0.exe

The remote control is supplied as standard and allows:

  • Input selection.
  • Volume control.

In addition, it allows remote control of all ATOLL products (Integrated, Preamps, Tuner, DAC, CD Players…).

The DAC200 Signature is available in black or natural aluminum version:

DAC200 Sig noir
Black anodized brushed aluminum finish.
DAC200 Sig silver
Silver anodized brushed aluminum finish.
