UNIVERSAL HIGH RESOLUTION DAC, PRE-AMPLIFIER, HEADPHONE AMPLIFIER
* The class-A buffering technology of the analog filtering sections is borrowed from the highly acclaimed Copland CD-players and composed by discrete transistors producing a stunning sound quality with an unconstrained mobility and acceleration
* The DAC215 incorporates an asynchronous USB input, tree S/PDIF digital inputs, an analog input, two analogue outputs (fixed and variable) and a complete pre-amplifier with analog volume control and front panel headphone output featuring vacuum tube gain stages.
* You can use the DAC215 for headphone playback. However, you can also use it as a high-end pre-amplifier with volume control, using the amplifier RCA outputs.
The volume control and pre-amplifier functionality can be bypassed for pure DAC mode. The DA215 USB input implementation is featuring USB 2.0 PCM 24/32 bit data transfer to 384 kHz, including native DSD64 and high resolution DSD128.

"Music is always expressive, always fluid, always dynamic, and always possessed of good detail and energy when played through the DAC215, and that applies whatever the musical genres being played."
"Last, and in many respects best, comes the headphone amplifier section. This was uniformly excellent, with seemingly endless power in reserve and retaining that detailed, musical, ‘lovely’ vibe. Sounds were well placed in a soundstage as open as the headphones would permit, nothing taxed the amplifier (even ‘beast’ loads passed off uneventfully), and the overall balance of accurate and enjoyable made the DAC215 a great one-box solution.

"Those expecting to hear a trace of hiss from the valve-powered circuit are in for a surprise. This is a quiet circuit that gives little clue to its glowing technological core.
Tonally, things are spot on. Those valves seem to add little in the way of excess richness or smoothness. We find the tonality convincing and wonderfully balanced. The DAC’s presentation is just natural, insightful and fluid.
We like the Copland DAC 215. It’s smart, nice to use and well built. It sounds lovely too, particularly as a headphone amp.
Given a good source, it delivers an immensely likeable sound, one that combines clarity and subtlety superbly. Highly recommended! "
