Arcam irDAC Digital to Analog Converter

Brand new - in the box, never opened.
6 Digital inputs - Class I & II USB - Direct i - Pod input - TI/Burr Brown PCM1796 DAC - IR remote control - High-end audio circuitry - Stylish cast aluminium case - Arcam re-entered the audio DAC market with the introduction of the r - DAC a few years ago. - This concept was not new to Arcam as they were the first company to launch an outboard DAC way back in 1989. The ir - DAC, so called because it now has infra-red remote control,owes much to the work that was done on the reference D33 DAC. The ir - DAC comes packed with cutting edge technology and features that will benefit the most demanding user. Arcam gained a lot of knowledge developing the class leading FMJ D33. Areas like isolation of the digital and analogue stages, ultra-low noise power supplies and a direct coupled signal path make a big difference. - Jitter reduction is an obsession withinthe Arcam engineering team. They have learned a huge amount about this technology from the D33 and have applied this experience in the ir - DAC to produce a signal that is almost jitter free. - The ir - DAC is designed to be the heart of a digital system and can be connected to a host of different types of digital sources and connections. This includes asynchronous USB and a direct i - Pod input that that takes the digital signal direct from an Apple device to optimize the sound quality. All of the inputs can be controlled through an IR remote that will also control PC, MACs and iPod/iPhone/iPad via the HID(Human interface device) control.
