Swiss precision – It's what you get with CH Precision's C1.2 DAC/Controller [starting at €32'850], the partnering DAC to their D1.4 SA/CD transport. Amongst listed improvements over the predecessor are a four-fold increase in processing power; a revised algorithm with now fixed-point processing; new power-management software for reduced system noise levels; a new thermally compensated shunt-regulated master clock; discrete local regulation of DSP/FGPA chips; full MQA compliance for disc/file replay; and an improved by-passable hybrid digital/analog volume control. With modular inputs, the owner only buys the input boards needed and an upgrade path can end up in a three-box dual-mono DAC. The machine will be at Munich High End in Atrium 4.1 room F118.
