8X192 Series AD/DA

8X192 AD/DA is Mytek new hi-performance mastering converter which offers PCM A/D and D/A conversion for all sampling rates from 44.1k to 192k. Optional DSD firmware provides DSD (standard 64x) and hi-speed 128x DSD.

Additionally to analog-digital-analog conversion 8X192 features the following:

1) Digital format conversion between AES and any of two optional DIO Cards installed

2) True precision mastering grade 1dB per step stepped attenuator

3) Analog mix buss assignable to 4 pairs of stereo channels or 8 mono channels

4) Additional to 8 analog outputs, 2 XLR outputs which can be assigned to any pair of channels or Mix Buss output

5) Hi-current (500mA), hi-speed, low distortion transparent headphone amplifier
