The M-DAC, an eagerly awaited, new standalone D/A converter finally makes its debut as a replacement for the award-winning 8000DAC introduced in 1992.

The M-DAC is housed in a smart styling aluminium case with solid build and ample connectivity. Alongside the USB input with Asynchronous data processing, there are two each of coaxial and optical digital inputs, and one each of coaxial and optical digital outputs. Audio signal is provided via RCA single-ended and XLR balanced audio outputs.

A wand like remote control handset allows you to switch inputs, select from preset digital filters and alter the display. The large clear screen allows you to see what input is being used and the sample rate being received. High-res 24-bit/192kHz music files can be played on the M-DAC via the coaxial input, while optical and USB inputs support 24-bit/96kHz data.

Even though we live in the age of digital downloading most of us still have a prized CD collection. For that reason Audiolab has produced the M-CDT, a CD transport designed to perfectly complement the M-DAC and Q-DAC digital preamplifiers.

To a convenient and advanced slot loading mechanism, Audiolab engineers have added a sophisticated digital decoder feeding digital coax and optical outputs for optimum versatility.

In addition Trigger In and Out links allow remote switching of auto power on/off in installations or for convenience in a stack of components. The transport functions can be controlled from Audiolab remote handsets such as that supplied with M-DAC.

Now it’s easy to combine three neatly designed and space saving components – M-CDT, M-DAC and M-PWR to make a complete source and amplification system. Alternatively connect M-CDT and M-DAC or Q-DAC to Audiolab ARC active loudspeakers to form a fully featured hi-fi system.
