MP-D201 Mk.III DAC

When we talk about the Masterpiece Series being extreme, we really mean what we say. This component is the last word in digital to analogue conversion. With five inputs including USB that supports NativeDSD up to 256 and PCM up to 384kHz with 32 bit resolution, whatever digital sources you have, this unit will handle them with room to spare.

Description

The last word in digital control

When we talk about the Masterpiece Series being extreme, we really mean what we say. This component is the last word in digital to analogue conversion.

With five inputs including USB that supports NativeDSD up to 128 and PCM up to 384kHz with 32 bit resolution, whatever digital sources you have, this unit will handle them with room to spare.

And because of our modular design, as upgraded components pass our rigorous testing and standards, they can be installed in the future meaning this unit is truly the last DAC you may ever need to buy.

Everything at maximum

In this iteration of the MP-D201, we introduced an updated master clock to keep each of the 16 DAC chips – 8 in parallel per channel – in perfect harmony. We use AD-1955 chips which are renowned for the ability to produce a ‘non-digital’ sound which is part of our core ethos.

The power supply also has a vast array of ultra-low-noise regulator steps to support the DACs potential performance.

The MP-D201 Mk.III delivers nothing but sublime sound quality and a haunting, authentic rendition of your favourite recordings.

Finishing

The MP-D201 Mk.III comes in Jet Black or Warm Silver as standard. Titanium Orange, Dark Champagne and Titanium Grey are our most popular unique finishes.
