M12

The M12 builds upon the proven design of the M1 SE D/A converter so your digital sources are handled and converted in the best way. To that we add to it a pure dual mono analogue signal path with high resolution analogue gain and level control, controlling the output stage of the D/A converter in the analogue domain with no loss of resolution and pass thru analogue inputs for your analogue sources. Like the M1, the M12 is a dual mono design with 3 power supplies and separate left and right analogue
power supplies and digital and analogue processing.

A new feature for the M12 is a network interface and media renderer. This allows the M12 to be seen as a DLNA device on an audio network and server as an audio device to play or stream to through a wired connection on your network. Now you can run wired data longer distances without loss in quality so your network server can go anywhere you choose.

Analogue gain control has allowed us to take DSD playback to the ultimate level. The M12 features a pure analogue DSD converter; any filtering and level is accomplished in the analogue domain. When processed this way, no digital signal processing is done. Typically in most DACs the DSD is converted to a multi-bit sigma delta or PCM signal for filter processing. With the M12 we offer a pure DSD path and all post processing for noise filtering and level control are accomplished purely in the analogue domain.

All analogue, precise, silent control with 90db of control range in one db steps, all remote controlled and programmable. The M12 digital controlled fully balanced dual mono resistor ladder is as good as level can be, and inserted at the source, at the output of the DAC’s I-V stage. This approach provides some of the best digital playback possible and analogue control from the M12 balanced or unbalanced inputs.
