The DAC 102 is a two channel digital to analog audio converter. It accepts two channels of uncompressed digital audio signals up to 24-bit, 192 kHz, from either a TOSLINK or coaxial S/PDIF source, and converts the signal to balanced/unbalanced analog audio. An integrated remote volume control port allows for output level adjustment and mute control when used with analog volume controllers such as the MLC 55 RS VC, MLC 64 RS VC D, MLC 64 RS VC, MLA VC10 Plus, and VCM series. The small form factor and included ZipClip 25 easily accommodates installations where space is limited.
