DAC 1 Wireless USB Digital-to-Analogue Converter

Computer music meets hi- sound. That’s what the DAC 1 Wireless USB Digital-to-Analogue Converter is all about. Our super
simple and fun solution lets you listen to any music stored on or streamed to your computer on your high performance NAD hi-
system. Point-to-point wireless technology means you can just plug in the two-piece DAC 1 and start enjoying computer audio
with the least amount of fuss.

> Anything your computer can do, we can

do better.

You no longer have to pick your computer over your
audio system when it comes to listening to your
favourite digital tunes, Internet radio, or cloud services
like Spotify, Pandora, Last.fm, and MOG. Spoil yourself
with better sound quality and more control over your
music choices.

> Look ma, no Wi-Fi!

You don’t need a Wi-Fi network to use the DAC 1 with
its point-to-point wireless technology, which features
the full audio bandwidth and remains uncompressed
to maintain sound quality. Simply plug the DAC 1’s
Transmitter into your computer’s USB port and it
becomes a sound card that transmits audio to your
hi- system.

> Musical Sound

To achieve the best possible sound, the Transmitter
digitally transmits the audio from your Mac or PC to the
DAC 1 Receiver, which then converts the digital signal
to analogue using premium Burr-Brown OPAmps and
24/192 DAC with selected passive components in a
proprietary circuit. There is also a coax digital output
that allows downstream digital processing.

> Quality and Affordability

Our attention to detail and use of premium parts in the
DAC 1 represents unusually good value. The DAC 1
is an easy economical option that doesn’t compromise
our incredibly musical sound and promises to boost
your enjoyment of your existing component system. The
DAC 1 brings a whole new world of musical experience
and choice to your hi- experience.
