The DA8 (up to 192kz) and the DA8P (up to DSD) is a digital to analogue convertor option card for the Hapi MKII and Horus.
The original design of the 8-channel DA converter board has been a great tool in setting a standard for critical listening and monitoring for all our users, and its design hasn’t seen the need for major changes for many years.
This card has been replaced by the DA8V3 in the Merging lineup.
Discontinued
The DA8 (up to 192kHz) and the DA8P (up to DSD) have consistently shown in testing to be the quietest multichannel D/A conversion modules available anywhere.
The original design of the 8-channel DA convertor board has been a great tool in setting a standard for critical listening and monitoring for all users. Now incorporating the ES9028PRO chip, users can benefit from even more impressive specs with a typical Dynamic Range of 125 dB (> 127 dB A-weighted) and THD+N in excess of – 116 dB (this latest number being actually close to the measurement limit of our Audio Precision equipment maxing at 118 dB THD+N).
In addition, Low Phase Noise Oscillator circuitry has been added to further improve the absolute transparency and stereo image of an analogue signal, effectively void of both jitter and wander.
