TOTALDAC is a prestigious French high-end audio equipment manufacturer founded in 2010 by Vincent Brient, an engineer graduated from Supélec who was mentored by renowned audio designer John Westlake, creator of Pink Triangle's DaCapo D/A converter, Audiolab's M-DAC, and Cambridge Audio's DACMagic. Located in Saint-Ouen-des-Alleux near Mont Saint-Michel in Brittany, France, TOTALDAC emerged from Vincent Brient's personal quest to create an affordable yet exceptional DAC when he couldn't find one that satisfied his audiophile standards, leading him to design and build his own using discrete R2R ladder technology without commercial chips. The company's genesis reflects a deeply personal passion project that evolved into a business when Brient's audiophile friends, impressed by his bass horn hi-fi system and custom DACs, requested their own units, prompting him to establish TOTALDAC as a brand dedicated to the highest level of digital-to-analog conversion performance. Operating as a boutique manufacturer where all products are conceived, developed, and manufactured 100% in France with surface mount components assembled in specialized French factories while research and development, board assembly, final assembly, testing, listening evaluation, packaging, and shipping are conducted in-house at the TOTALDAC laboratory. The company's comprehensive product portfolio includes acclaimed DACs ranging from the entry-level d1-core through the flagship d1-total, digital output products including the d1-switch network switch and d1-streamer-sublime, analog components such as the d1-driver-sublime preamplifier and AMP-1-sublime amplifier, plus the recently introduced d120 loudspeaker line unveiled at High End 2024 Munich. TOTALDAC has achieved worldwide recognition for its innovative discrete R2R ladder DACs and accompanying technology that many audio critics claim produces the most refined, natural sound available, earning praise from publications like Stereophile for making 'music sound more unrestrained' and AudioStream for being the 'most musically satisfying DAC.' Vincent Brient continues to personally oversee all aspects of the company's operations with a philosophy of '100% passion' that predates the commercial venture, maintaining his hands-on approach to every product while participating in major industry events like High End Munich 2025 where TOTALDAC will present their complete system anchored by the d1-triunity DAC, demonstrating the company's ongoing commitment to advancing the art and science of digital audio reproduction through French engineering excellence.
