Dual Mono Master D/A Converter
Reference D/A
The MC1 digital to analog converter is a fully-differential stereo reference D/A designed for critical audio applications. Years in development and refinement, the MC1 recreates audio waveforms with exacting precision with a goal to carefully preserve harmonic integrity. This means instrumentation and human voices sound life-like, transparent and maintain their intended recorded character.
Design and performance
The MC1 has two completely isolated channels, each with its own dedicated linear power supply, D/A converter, DDS clocking, and analog circuitry. This design ensures that analog crosstalk is virtually nonexistent, that the necessary power requirements for each channel are well met and isolated from each other and the digital processing is isolated, having its own power supply. With our twin DAC design, the dynamic range for each channel is optimized by using the stereo ADI 1955 D/A converter in a mono configuration. The MC1 also includes Bricasti's proprietary filter technology, critical to achieving optimum results in a modern reference D/A.
