Audiolab M-DAC Digital To Analogue Converter reviews

Audiolab_M_DAC_Award_Logo The eagerly awaited Audiolab M-DAC is a cost effective way to achieve top quality sound quality from your digital sources. Apart from USB, you can route digital music streams to it via optical (Toslink) or either of two coaxial S/P-DIF inputs. Audio outputs can be taken in analogue format via single ended RCA's or balanced XLR connectors. A digital optical output is alos provided for recording, for example. A front panel headphone socket gives easy access for private listening.

State-of-the-art 24 bit 192kHz ESS Sabre DAC's are designed into this design, ensuring clarity and freedom from distortion which characterises all of Audiolab's product range.

If you're serious about digital music (and who isn't nowadays?) Then the M-DAC is really the DAC to have. Not only does it do an incredible job at processing your digital sources but with selectable filter modes you it can be altered to cater to your specific tastes or the genre of music. These settings can be changed with the supplied remote which is also capable of controlling media players on your PC or Mac - not something you find in many other DACs on the market! Status details details are displayed on the clear and bright 2.7" OLED screen. The headphone output is also top-notch, so those who regularly use cans as well as a speaker set-up will not be disappointed.

hi-fi_choice_editors_101 Hi-Fi Choice "With excellent sonics across a wide range of sources, fine build, superlative ease of use and a vast feature count, it's very difficult nor to rave about the new Audiolab M-DAC. It's a landmark product, just like Johr westlake's original DacMagic was all those years ago. If you're looking for a digital-to-analogue convertor at or anywhere near this price, you surely must hear this" Read the full review here.

Random customer quote... "Hi there.

I just wanted to let you know that the service you provided, from the telephone order through to the next day delivery, was absolutely fantastic and puts some other comapnies to shame. Also, the speakers (Monitor Audio BX2) are awesome straight out of the box, so can't wait to hear them improve with running in. Great job - thank you!"
