Reference "Signature Edition" 2-channel CD/SACD D-A converter and precision pre-amp

The DCC2 SE is admired as much for what it does away with as what it does. Its in-built flexibility gives you the option to use it as a standalone converter or as a converter/preamplifier—eliminating the need for a separate preamp, attendant buffer stages and additional set of cables. The result is a more direct signal path. Not to mention a more direct connection with the music itself.


The converter is a direct descendant of the state-of-the-art DAC6e. Which means it takes CD and SACD reproduction to an entirely higher level. Hook it to a transport, any transport, and immediately the PCM input is upconverted to 5.6448MHz DSD. The sonic benefit of which has garnered equally high praise from both the professional and audiophile
