Paganini
PDC Stereo Digital to Analogue Converter - $17,999
The Paganini DAC uses
the latest version of the patented
dCS
Ring DAC, which has several detail improvements over earlier
versions.
The Ring DAC is a discrete balanced design, it does not use any of
the off-the-shelf DAC chips found in all other manufacturer's
products. The digital processor converts ALL incoming digital data
to "Ring DAC format": 5 bits at either 2.822MS/s or 3.07MS/s.

Paganini PCK System Master Clock - $9,999
The
Paganini Clock is based on our professional master clocks and the
highly successful Verona. Clocking is very important, because any
timing errors that occur in the DAC will be converted directly into
errors in the analogue output. All
dCS
products use a sophisticated multi-mode phase locked loop (PLL),
which significantly "cleans up" jittery clock signals.
