Vincent has upgraded its junior DAC-1 DAC, improving its sound and capabilities. Vincent DAC-1 MK now supports DSD signal reception via USB input and can play files with a maximum resolution of 32 bit / 384 kHz. Via optical and coaxial input, the DAC-1 MK processes digital signals with a maximum resolution of 24-bit / 192 kHz.

The Vincent DAC-1 MK uses an ES9038 chip as a DAC chip, and all subsequent signal processing occurs using a balanced circuit. To achieve the best possible sound, only high-quality parts from reputable manufacturers (such as WIMA or Nichicon) were used.

Just like the older model Vincent DAC-7, the Vincent DAC-1 MK power supply uses a transformer with a double winding. One winding is intended exclusively for the analog part of the device, the other – only for the digital part. Both parts receive optimal power and also minimize interference. This improves dynamics and allows you to get a music signal with virtually no loss.
