AVAILABLE IN BLACK OR SILVERUPGRADE THE DAVE with Chord M Scaler Digital Upscaler for ABSOLUTE BEST PERFORMANCE! Chord Electronics has launched its most advanced DAC to date. Given the acronym DAVE, Chord's latest-generation digital-to-analogue convertor features the very best conversion technology available, using proprietary techniques never seen before. ONE OF OUR REFERENCE DACs! "2019 Stereophile Class A Rated" DAVE is a highly advanced reference-grade DAC, digital preamp and headphone amplifier. Hand-made in Kent, DAVE is based around a proprietary FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) offering more than ten times the program capacity of its predecessor. At its heart lies a new (and in electronics terms, huge) LX75 version of the Spartan 6 Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). The FPGA''s extraordinary capability enables a number of key sonic benefits including significantly improved timing and the best noise-shaper performance of any known DAC. DAVE''s technology delivers music with unmatched reality and musicality, with an unrivalled timing response.
