CANOR DAC 2.10 uses the dual mono configuration of the ES9038Q2M digital-to-analogue converters from ESS Sabre, which ensure high sound quality.
 
Highlights
Dual mono configuration of digital to analogue converters from ESS Sabre
The consistently symmetrical signal path
The output part is analogue (tube-based)
 
Product Features
thanks to used converters, it is possible to play files in PCM formats up to a sampling frequency of 768 kHz and for DSD format up to Native DSD512 via the USB input, thus covering most digital files that you can normally play, buy or stream.
it uses the dual mono configuration of the ES9038Q2M digital-to-analogue converters from ESS Sabre, which ensure high sound quality.
the analogue output is a buffer, which is solved by a high-quality electronic connection
dual converter wiring uses separate signal paths for the left and right channels.
there are seven digital converter filters for PCM format and one proprietary for MQA format, which is set automatically during MQA playback.
the last (eighth) item in the digital filter menu “Oversampling Bypass” can be selected. But it’s not a digital filter, as it’s turning off digital filtering for the ability to compare audio without filtering…
the signal from the digital inputs is processed by a powerful multi-core XMOS microcontroller with an advanced Multi-Core RISC architecture.
