Majestic pre-DAC

A DAC and preamp in one box!

"...my Kairn and DAC64, have now taken well earned retirement"

NEW: 192 kHz optical input version available to special order

A preamp for the digital age...

Low distortion low noise DAC using re-clocking on every digital input including USB.

With seven digital inputs and one analogue input the Majestic stereo DAC is more than a DAC, it's a preamp for the digital age.

The only truly high resolution analogue source most people have is vinyl, so the Majestic has an analogue input suitable for the output of a phono stage. Often all the other sources are digital, whether that be a DBS radio tuner, recording device, CD player, music server, or computer. The Majestic has 7 digital inputs to cater for these.

The Majestic stereo DAC gives you a fixed low-level RCA jack stereo output, and a level controlled TRS jack stereo-balanced output. By special order the RCA jack output can be made level controlled too.
