At Audio Note (UK), there is belief in the art of pure audio craftsmanship. In a world dominated by technical jargon and numerical specifications, they’ve taken a deliberate step back to focus on what truly matters: the authentic, transparent, and deeply musical sound. Audio Note (UK)’s DAC1.1x/II Digital to Analogue converter is the embodiment of this philosophy.

The DAC1.1x/II aligns with their stringent Level 1 criteria, a testament to the meticulous standards they set for all their equipment. But let’s dive deeper into what sets this converter apart.

In the digital audio domain, various modern enhancements such as oversampling, jitter reduction, noise shaping, and re-clocking have become commonplace. While they may boast impressive technical feats, Audio Note (UK) found, through unwavering dedication to auditory research, that these often cloud the pure essence of sound. Instead, the DAC1.1x/II celebrates the purity of analogue, abstaining from these digital additives, to ensure a conversion process that remains untouched and undistorted.

At the heart of this DAC lies the Analogue Devices AD1865. This 18-bit stereo converter chip is not chosen merely for its specifications but for its unmatched sonic capabilities. Many might wonder why they’ve selected this chip when higher bit-rate versions are available. Their answer, quite simply, lies in their commitment to listening. After countless hours of rigorous auditory testing, the AD1865 emerged as the victor, proving that numbers on paper can sometimes belie the reality of audio performance.

So, what can you expect from the DAC1.1x/II? It’s more than just a piece of equipment; it’s an experience. An experience where every note, every nuance, and every emotion in the music is laid bare, allowing listeners to engage in a dialogue with the music, to feel its soul, its rhythm, its heartbeat.

The Audio Note (UK) DAC1.1x/II Digital to Analogue converter isn’t about meeting industry standards or outdoing competitors with technical prowess.
