Merging Technologies DA8

The DA8 is a high-quality digital to analog card with 8 output channels for use in Merging Horus and Hapi devices. As was proven in numerous tests, this DA8 card is the quietest multichannel D/A converter available on the market. Its impressive specifications include a typical dynamic range of 125 dB (> 127 dB A-weighted) and THD+N below -116 dB. 
The low phase noise oscillator circuitry contributes to the exceptional clarity and stereo imaging of analog signals by minimizing both jitter and wander.
Additionally, the DA8 incorporates an analog mute circuitry and provides protection against spurious transients occurring during sample rate changes and power cycling "clicks" and "pops", which can damage not only speakers but also the listener's ears. With a noise floor of less than -125 dB, the DA8 provides ultimate analog output quality for any monitoring system.

Features:

• Dynamic range of 127 dB (typ.)
• Low phase noise oscillator circuitry
• Auto-mute circuitry for “no-pop” power cycling
• Digitally controlled trims for line-up procedures
• Easy to set dip switches for international operating levels
• 1x 25-pin Sub D connector
• Sampling frequencies up to 192 kHz
