Key highlights of the CAS192D Golden DAC include the following: 
True DSD Playback
Where most DACs offer DSD over PCM (DoP), the CAS192D bypasses your computer's audio processing to deliver authentic DSD playback. This eliminates the need for extensive, latency-prone processing and also reduces USB bandwidth requirements.

State-of-the-Art IIR Digital Filter
Many DACs use FIR (finite impulse response) filters, which can make music sound unnatural. The CAS192D employs an advanced IIR digital filter to remove this problem, ensuring natural sound reproduction.

Superior USB Input & Asynchronous Transmission
The DAC’s USB input supports True DSD and PCM 192kHz/24bit. A 3x clock asynchronous transmission structure is employed, controlled by custom-made Japanese clocks for each frequency range. This significantly reduces jitter and ensures high fidelity.

Efficient Dual Clock Up-Sampling
The CAS192D uses two low-phase noise clocks for up-sampling. This integral approach mitigates timing errors, enhancing the quality of audio playback. An on-board UP-SAMPLING button provides user control over this feature.

Robust Power Supply Design
The DAC features a customised Plitron toroidal transformer and a robust power regulation system. These components deliver stable, noise-free power to each section of the unit, ensuring consistent performance.

Solid Build Quality
Constructed with an aluminum chassis produced by Foxconn using precise CNC tooling, the CAS192D offers excellent thermal management and RFI/EMI shielding.

Wolfson Flagship Chip WM8741
Characterized by its classic "English-style" sound, the WM8741 chip in the CAS192D ensures soft and exquisite audio output. This unit adheres to Wolfson's high design standards and has received official praise from the chip manufacturer.
