{"product_id":"dcs-bhd-blk-59156","title":"dCS Bartók Headphone DAC — Black","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe Bartók is dCS's entry into their own lineup — which means it's a reference-class DAC by any other standard. dCS builds in Cambridge, England, and the Ring DAC at the center of the Bartók is their own proprietary conversion architecture, refined over decades and shared with their more expensive components. It does not use an off-the-shelf DAC chip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe Headphone DAC variant adds a fully discrete headphone amplifier stage — up to 5 watts into 16 ohms, with both quarter-inch and balanced 3-pin XLR outputs. It handles low-impedance planar magnetics and high-impedance dynamic drivers without compromise. Network streaming built in: TIDAL, Qobuz, Spotify, UPnP, Roon Ready. Digital inputs via USB, AES\/EBU, coaxial, and optical. PCM to 32-bit\/384kHz, DSD to DSD256. Balanced XLR and RCA analog outputs for use as a preamplifier or direct to a power amplifier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe Bartók is the component that makes you stop looking for a better source.
