: Vekian - D/A

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. Its 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 an elegant matte silver finish!

Sonic Characteristics

The Vekian - D/A 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.
  • Constrained-Layer Damping Isolation Foot System (CLDIFS)
