Cinnamon has launched the Galle, a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) that stems from comprehensive research into advanced digital-to-analog conversion technologies. Aimed at delivering exceptional sound quality and accuracy, the Galle features a combination of state-of-the-art engineering and careful craftsmanship. It consists of three main components: the input stage, the digital-to-analog conversion stage, and the output stage.
In contrast to many DACs that utilize off-the-shelf chips, Cinnamon’s design incorporates a quasi-non-oversampling circuit that is further enhanced by sophisticated signal processing. This configuration operates in a dual mono setup, employing a 27-bit differential resistor ladder made up of 430 precision resistors, each with an impressive tolerance of 0.01%, which guarantees high signal fidelity throughout the conversion process.

The Galle is encased in a sturdy bronze and aluminum alloy housing, which is a distinctive aspect of its design. The casing is produced with minimal processing, leading to unique variations in texture and appearance due to the casting method, ensuring that each unit is truly one of a kind.
This blend of high-performance engineering and artisanal craftsmanship makes the Galle a significant addition to Cinnamon’s offerings, catering to audiophiles who desire high-fidelity audio reproduction paired with a unique aesthetic.
