{"product_id":"audio-research-dac9-tube-dac","title":"Audio Research DAC9 Tube DAC","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe DAC9 combines a vacuum-tube analog section with the latest digital design, decoding DSD music files and PCM files up to 384kHz through two separate data paths that ensure proper integer decoding. Quad D-A converters run dual stereo DACs in mono per channel to increase dynamic range and lower the noise floor, with selectable digital filters and native-rate upsampling on all inputs. The balanced, Class-A, zero-feedback analog section uses a pair of 6H30 dual-triode tubes with no capacitive coupling, fed by an asynchronous USB input and four galvanically isolated SPDIF inputs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding-right:1.5em\"\u003eAnalog stage\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBalanced, Class A, zero feedback, no capacitive coupling\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding-right:1.5em\"\u003eDAC architecture\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eQuad D-A converters, dual stereo DACs per channel in mono\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding-right:1.5em\"\u003eDimensions\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e19 in W x 7 in H x 15.5 in D, 32 lbs net\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding-right:1.5em\"\u003eInputs\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAsynchronous USB 2.0HS (44.1kHz to 384kHz PCM, DSD, 2xDSD); RCA, BNC, XLR to 192kHz; Toslink to 96kHz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding-right:1.5em\"\u003eSignal-to-noise ratio\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGreater than 114dB\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding-right:1.5em\"\u003eTube complement\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTwo 6H30 dual triodes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding-right:1.5em\"\u003eUpsampling\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAll inputs upsample to 384kHz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCall or visit the showroom about availability.\u003c\/strong\u003e Contact our team for pricing, a demonstration, or system design — \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/contact\"\u003eget in touch\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Audio Research","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50417943609537,"sku":null,"price":12000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/8340\/9857\/files\/DAC9-HD-MObile.jpg?v=1785024471","url":"https:\/\/soundsanctuaryaustin.com\/products\/audio-research-dac9-tube-dac","provider":"Sound Sanctuary Austin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
