Designed specifically to bridge DACs and amplifiers, emphasizing analog driver functionality for modern audio systems.
Features no volume control, relying on the DAC's remote for user-friendly, low-noise sound adjustment.
Includes an analog attenuation switch (-15.5dB) for precise gain control with high-quality resistors.
Totaldac has announced the launch of its latest innovation - the D1-Driver-sublime. This new product is an advanced amplifier driver, specifically designed for audio systems that primarily utilize a Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) as their source.
Analog Driver Functionality: Primarily serving as a connection between a DAC and an amplifier, the D1-Driver-sublime is an analog driver that addresses the ongoing debate about the benefits of using a preamp in modern audio systems.
No Volume Control Design: Unique to the D1-Driver-sublime is its lack of a volume control feature, a deliberate choice to rely on the DAC's volume control. This design is intended to deliver the best sound quality with minimal noise and user-friendly volume control from the DAC's remote.
Advanced System Gain Control: The device includes an analog attenuation feature of -15.5dB, useful when the overall system gain is too high. This feature is activated via a switch on the rear panel, utilizing precision resistors for accurate control.
Versions Available: The D1-Driver-sublime comes in a one-box stereo version with RCA inputs and outputs, and a two-box monobloc version with additional XLR inputs and outputs.
Class A Design: The device boasts a high bias current Class A design, ensuring natural low output impedance and low distortion.
Low Noise Level: Thanks to its discrete design and external power supply, the D1-Driver-sublime achieves an extremely low noise level.
Damping Feet: Optional custom damping feet are available for improved sound quality.
Output Choices: Users can opt for additional outputs for various components like subwoofers or headphone amplifiers.
The Totaldac D1-Driver-sublime is now available for purchase. For more details on pricing and availability, interested customers are encouraged to visit Totaldac's official website or authorized dealers.
This release marks a significant development in Totaldac's product line, offering audiophiles and music enthusiasts a new level of audio experience with enhanced sound quality, dynamic range, and minimal distortion.
