Merging DA8V3S

The DA8V3S is a high-quality digital to analog card with 8 output channels for use in Merging Hapi Mk III devices. As was proven in numerous tests, this DA8V3S card is the quietest multichannel D/A converter available on the market. Its impressive specifications include a typical dynamic range of 124 dB (> 126 dB A-weighted) and THD+N below -116 dB.

The low phase noise oscillator circuitry contributes to the exceptional clarity and stereo imaging of analog signals by minimizing both jitter and wander.

Additionally, the DA8V3S incorporates an analog mute circuitry and provides protection against spurious transients occurring during sample rate changes and power cycling "clicks" and "pops", which can damage not only speakers but also the listener's ears. With a noise floor of less than -125 dB, the DA8V3S provides ultimate analog output quality for any monitoring system.

The DA8V3S supports sample rates up to 192 kHz.
