We are very proud to announce that The Lotus Group now represents SW1X of England. The designer, Slawa Roschkow is a huge proponent of Non oversampling, zero flittering R2R tube DACs. We have made the first sale ever of their Level V DAC. This will be custom DAC V Special with the following specifications:
- · Non-oversampling – zero digital filtering DAC design
- · Specially selected and harmonically matched component & material quality
- · Discrete transistor shunt voltage regulated power supplies
- · Dynamic Element Matching (DEM) powered by an asynchronous valve clock (vintage E180F and EAA91 tubes)
- · Directly Heated Triodes valve output stage, DC-core signal output transformer coupled, zero negative feedback
- · Passive I/V conversion via specially selected resistors
- · Directly Heated double diode tube rectified CLCx2LC (3 x choke filtered) power supply
- · Supports up to 24Bit/96kHz (optional up to 48 kHz only) digital coaxial S/PDIF signal input
- · Pure copper chassis with panzer holz feet and 16mm panzer holz base
- · XLR AES/EBU input and balanced XLR output
- · Fine silver wiring in selected places
- · Black Gate capacitors around TDA1541
- · Black Gate capacitors in the HV power supplies in crucial places
- · Super HiB DC-core mains transformers 3 x for digital and DHT/DHD power supplies
- · Super HiB DC-core chokes for HV power supply
- · Copper wound DC-core Super HiB signal output transformers
- · Inter-stage signal decoupling capacitors: out of production Jensen Copper Foil in Oil in copper can
- · Vintage NOS Globe 45 tubes
- · 80 or 5Z3 tube rectifier
