April Music's new DAC220 digital to analogue converter is another addition to its acclaimed Stello range. The DA220 includes selectable upsampling from conventional 44.1kHz/16-bit to 48kHz, 96kHz, and 192kHz, all managed by the touch of a button on the front panel.
A specially designed sixth-order digital filter is installed between the DAC and analogue output modules which is said to strengthen the quality of the analogue signal before it is routed to the module. April Music claims this produces a significantly improved S/N ratio and a wider soundstage than those offered by ordinary DACs with simple digital filters.
The DAC220 is available now for £920. It's available in silver or olive black (at extra cost). For more information visit: www.aprilmusic.com
