Chord DAVE

摘要

Described by Chord as its 'most advanced DAC to date', behind the name 'DAVE' is a spot of yer actual Latin: standing for 'Digital to Analogue Veritas in Extremist And it's a DAC at which Chord's digital whizz Rob Watts has thrown everything he knows, fitted into the familiar all-alloy Choral casework, and with a high-resolution display set at an angle between the top and the front of the unit. Crucially, rather than use 'off the shelf chipsets found in most DACs these days, Watts engineers his own technology from scratch, and the DAVE focuses on what he feels is the vital part of the way a converter works - the transients in music and the way they affect both timing and the realism of what's being heard.
