RAKK dac with Line Stage
 

 
 

 
The RAKK dac and line stage combination  is intended for anyone needing an excellent digital-to-analog converter (DAC) combined with an superb line stage with extraordinary sound quality. This combination supports both SPDIF and AES/EBU digital inputs, and will accommodate both balanced and unbalanced analog inputs. It provides both  balanced and unbalanced outputs.

This configuration uses a RAKK dac together with the active output board and combo input board configured to support both the DAC input and line inputs. You supply your own 50K volume control. The DACT switched attenuator would be a good choice.

Maximum digital output level at 0dBfs: 2vRMS

Analog input gain: 6.5dB

Output impedance: 250 Ohms

Frequency response (digital): 10Hz to 20KHz; +0.3dB, -0.5dB

Frequency response (analog): 6Hz to 40KHz; +0dB, -3dB

For more detail on this configuration see the active output article.
