These remotely controlled Mic/Line Input cards have set a new benchmark in analog circuitry design, and provide additionally a line level post mic-pre “Direct Out” output.
Available in models that work up to 192kHz (AKDG8DS) and DXD/DSD256 (AKDG8DP).
This card has been replaced by the ADO8V3 in the Merging lineup.
These remotely controlled Mic/Line input cards are 3rd generation Dual Gain topology designs, taking inspiration from the outstanding Anubis Preamps, showing zero tolerance to any compromise on the audio quality. These cards are a new benchmark in analog circuit design, providing an additional Line level post Mic-pre “Direct Out” output.
Available in models that work up to 192kHz (AKDG8D, Standard) and DXD/DSD256 (AKDG8DP, Premium).
