Products: Vekian-D/A

Stahl~Tek is proud to introduce the Vekian - D/A! After years of critical listening and R&D, we have designed a truly hi-end and exquisitely crafted D/A!

The Vekian-D/A offers the I2S digital input via HDMI!

The Vekian - D/A is constructed of materials that provide excellent structural integrity, superb mechanical dampening, and isolates the internal circuitry from outside electrical interferences.

The Vekian – D/A's design is stunningly sophisticated, elegantly sleek, and refreshingly clean presentation. Beauty is not just skin deep with this D/A: it is sonically breath-taking!

We are pleased to announce that the Vekian now supports the I2S interface via HDMI!

The Vekian-D/A is now offered in a elegant matte silver finish!

Sonic Characteristics

The Vekian - DA uses optimized digital / analog electronic circuitry to achieve high resolution performance and accuracy. As a result, the Vekian - D/A is extremely detailed, but reminiscent of analog vinyl reproduction. It truly brings out the best of the digital source material!

Features

Individual/Fully Isolated Digital Inputs Circuitry Stage.
Ultra-low jitter performance is achieved with the combination of the low-jitter input receiver circuit and a custom mechanically-damped/shielded Sample-Rate-Converter Module that is governed by a low noise precision master clock circuit.
Supports 24-Bit resolution with Input Sampling Rates from 32kHz to 192kHz, which is automatically Up-sampled to 192kHz..
Dual, Multi-channel, 24-bit Multi-bit segment/delta-sigma hybrid DACs configured for Symmetrically Balanced Two Channel Audio outputs.
Four custom analog filter stages with no non-linear components in the signal path, designed to optimize phase linearity through-out the entire audio spectrum, which is crucial to minimizing audible distortions and sonic degradation to spatial depth and imaging.
Four Discrete Hybrid Bipolar/Mosfet High-Power Class A Output Stage Amplifiers optimized for two-channel balanced mode operations capable of driving low impedance loads.
Oversized Transformers, Multiple Large Filtering Capacitors, and Multi-Staged Regulated Power Supplies for each Digital/Analog Sub-Circuits.
