    Totaldac d120 speakers

    Yes please come and listen in Munich. I rised the barre for this show edition. The components are improved but also the system is 100% totaldac, so all is made to match each other perfectly, easier than when several brands are used.

    I simply don't know when the mono&stereo article was made, I only know that the d1-sublime installation was finished in April 2023, so less than one year ago.

    Totaldac new DACs

    Totaldac DACs stay with AES-EBU input (and coax, optical, USB). This AES-EBU link is not the limit with Totaldac DACs (I am only talking about Totaldac DACs). The limit is in the digital source (music server or streamer for example). I made many experiments to prove it. For example I used a...

    d1-driver "best of 2019" by mono&stereo

    A new d1-driver is released to perfectly match the quality of this new amplifier. The d1-driver-sublime has no volume control because it relies on the DAC volume control but in case the complete system gain is too high (DAC + amp + speakers + room) an analog -15.5dB attenuation can be activated...

    Absolutely no worry, you will like even more the d1-unity, it is not analytical in the wrong way at all. It is simply far better than the d1-single-mk2. You can also wait to read the Stereophile d1-unity review (December issue released mid November), it should help a lot to decide to go to the...

    Totaldac new DACs

    Yes it is equally effective for all inputs: AES-EBU, coax, toslink and USB. The design objective was to have a complete separation between the input side and the output side of the anti-jitter FIFO to minimize the jitter leakage from the input to the output. The sound gets much more clear and...

    Totaldac new DACs

    They are damping feet (transforming vibration to heat), not spikes, so they will help on a hear shelf or when the products are stacked. Currently I use them on a wooden shelf.
