Canor DAC 2.10

DAC with tube-based output

Performance Line

CANOR DAC 2.10 uses the dual mono configuration of the ES9038Q2M digital-to-analogue converters from ESS Sabre, which ensure high sound quality.

Highlights

01
Dual mono configuration of digital to analogue converters from ESS Sabre
02
The consistently symmetrical signal path
03
The output part is analogue (tube-based)

Main Features

Converter filters

Seven digital converter filters for PCM format and one proprietary for MQA format - so the listeners can adjust the sound exactly to their liking

Signal processing

The signal from the digital inputs is processed by a powerful multi-core XMOS microcontroller with an advanced Multi-Core RISC architecture

Power transformer

To remove mechanical hum, the transformer core is vacuum impregnated, and the entire transformer is encapsulated in a special anti-vibration compound. In addition, the massive, welded cover in which the transformer is located creates effective electromagnetic shielding and contributes significantly to the excellent signal-to-hum distance.

CMT ™ technology

The DAC 2.10 utilizes our advanced CMT TM technology (CANOR ® PCB Milling Technology) for optimal performance. The CMT™™ technology allows us to get the dielectric loss factors (loss tangent) of PCB close to the loss factor of air. Thanks to this technology we managed to get repeatedly to the parameter level of the so-called "wire-to-wire connections".

Overview


Product Features

  • Thanks to used converters, it is possible to play files in PCM formats up to a sampling frequency of 768 kHz and for DSD format up to Native DSD512 via the USB input, thus covering most digital files that you can normally play, buy or stream.
  • It uses the dual mono configuration of the ES9038Q2M digital-to-analogue converters from ESS Sabre, which ensures high sound quality.
  • The analogue output is a buffer, which is solved by a high-quality electronic connection.
  • A dual converter wiring uses separate signal paths for the left and right channels.
  • There are seven digital converter filters for PCM format and one proprietary for MQA format, which is set automatically during MQA playback.
  • The last (eighth) item in the digital filter menu “Oversampling Bypass” can be selected. But it’s not a digital filter, as it’s turning off digital filtering for the ability to compare audio without filtering.
  • The signal from the digital inputs is processed by a powerful multi-core XMOS microcontroller with an advanced Multi-Core RISC architecture.
