1. High-End Preamplifier

The DAC 1000 is specially designed to guarantee the full fidelity of high-end sound reproduction for almost a life time usage. High quality Digital volume control and dual monaural design provide excellent separation with pin-point imaging. Should you want to use DAC 1000 as a pure D to A Converter with a fixed output, a switch on the rear panel makes this change possible by selecting ‘fixed’ mode instead of normal ‘variable’ mode.

Analog Input

    1 XLR Balanced Input   1 RCA Unbalanced Input

Analog Output (Main Out)

  1 XLR Balanced Output
  1 RCA Unbalanced Output

Full Class A Output Stage

High Quality Digital Volume Control

Separate Transformers for the Digital and Analog stages

2. Selectable, Upsampling Digital to Analog Converter

Oracle DAC 1000 is a dedicated stand-alone D/A Converter.The DAC section has an upsampling function up to 192kHz (24Bit) which is selectable by the user.

Digital Input

  2 AES/EBU (Balanced)
  2 Coaxial (RCA)
  2 Optical (Toslink)

24 Bit /192 kHz, Delta-Sigma DAC

Custom designed digital filter

  Specially designed digital filtering circuitry is used in DAC 1000 to enhance the quality of sound by providing a cleaner signal with an excellent signal to noise ratio.

PLL Circuit

  For a jitter-free signal, special PLL circuit is applied in the Digital section

3. Upsampled (24Bit/96kHz) Digital Recording Output

The DAC 1000 is equipped with 4 digital outputs for direct digital recording. You can easily make high quality recordings of your favorite digital sources by connecting the cable between DAC 1000 and your digital recorder.

Digital Output

  1 Balanced AES/EBU
  2 Coaxial
  1 Optical Toslink

4. Surround (Input for surround processor)

DAC1000 provides a ‘Surround’ input for a simple connection to your surround processor.

INPUT / OUTPUT PORTS

Connection of DAC 1000 D/A converter + pre-amplifier

On the rear of DAC 1000, there are 2 Analog Outputs (1 Balanced, 1 Unbalanced) , 2 Analog Inputs (1 Balanced, 1 Unbalanced), 6 Digital Inputs and 4 Digital Outputs and the analog ‘Surround’ input.
Also included is a 12V trigger output.

1) Analog Input

BALANCED

  XLR Balanced input is used for the finest quality sound. Connect your equipment which has a XLR/Balanced Output by a Balanced Interconnect.

UNBALANCED

  RCA Unbalanced input can be plugged into this input. Output from FM Tuner, Tape-Out, VCR-Out etc. can be connected into this input.

SURROUND

  For home theater use only. Connect main out from your surround processor with this ‘Surround’ input. When in Surround mode, the volume control of the DAC 1000 is not valid. You should control the volume from the surround processor.
  *The display window on the front panel shows "SURROUND MODE".
  Another press of ‘Surround’ button will bring you back to normal DAC 1000 status.

2) Analog Output

XLR Balanced & RCA Unbalanced outputs are provided for the connection of power amplifiers. Both outputs can be used at the same time.
* We recommend XLR Balanced connection for better performance.

3) Digital Input

AES/EBU Balanced Digital is the best solution for Digital playback when connected to the transport with 110 ohm balanced digital cables.
Coax 1 & 2 are generally used ports for digital connection.
Optical Toslink is for optical connection. Use proper Toslink optical cable for this connection.

4) Digital Output

The DAC 1000 routes digital input signals to its 4 digital outputs. You can designate the specific input to be routed on 4 digital output ports by pressing ‘RECORD’ button either from the remote or from the front panel.
