DA100 Signature DAC
The DA100 Signature
digital-to-analog converter packs stunning performance in a
compact form.
Like it's sibling the
DA100, the Signature version is a high-end audiophile DAC ,
featuring high resolution 24 Bit / 192 kHz upsampling. Many of the
features of our legendary DA220 DAC have been incorporated in the
smaller platform of the DA100 Signature.
In addition to coaxial
(RCA), Toslink (optical) and AES/EBU (XLR balanced) inputs, the
DA100 Signature has a USB (Universal Serial Bus) standard port for
wide PC applications. You will experience computer audio like
never before.
Unlike the DA100, the
Signature features support for I2S digital transmission
via a mini-DIN connector. I2S sends separate signals on
individual conductors for master clock, word clock, bit clock and
audio data. The Stello CDT100 CD
Transport is the ideal companion to the DA100 Signature due to
its I2S output, performance, quality and form factor
match the DAC in every way.
The DA100 Signature's
fully-balanced analog outputs are on Neutrik connectors.

"Inputs, options, and impact. Three words that describe my
experience with the Stello DA100 Signature from April Music.
With five inputs and the ability to bypass or upsample to
24/96 or 24/192 my satisfaction was virtually guaranteed."
Chris Connaker, Founder Computer Audiophile

"To
those who have been looking for a digital source that won’t
offend your analog senses or sap too much green from your
vinyl budget, you may find a viable option in the Stello DA100
Signature and CDT100 -- and even some musicality from a
digital source." Tim Shea,
SoundStage!

"The final words: As a two-some, the CDT 100/DA 100 Sig
clearly go up against $2,500 machines. In terms of
functionality and connectivity options, they trounce most of 'em."
