PERFORMANCE
Double the Output
Building upon EAR Yoshino’s success of the EAR DACute and Acute 3, Tim
de Paravicini redesigned the output stage from the ground up. It now
comprises of four PCC88 valves and circuitry to match. Integrating the
valves, the circuitry, the transformers and digital chips to all work
together creates the best possible experience. Leaving you with
sensational audio.
Bespoke from the ground up
Having an all new design, the output transformers needed to match the
electronic capabilities of the new four valve output stage. Built with
solid construction, these transformers are more than 30% larger by
volume than their predecessor giving an exceptional signal to noise
ratio. These custom designed transformers are hand wound in
Cambridgeshire and complemented by the most stringent of criteria for
this amazing product.
Two brains are better than one
Everything you do with the EAR Dac 4 stems from its core. When you have a
great digital engine, the whole experience becomes better. That’s why
the Dac 4’s digital decoder now utilises two Wolfson WM8741 DACs, each
configured in bridged mono. Each individual channel is connected to its
own analogue output and transformer, negating the need for any
detrimental solid state signal conversion and buffering. When you can’t
hear the digital processing, you hear the whole sound, or note, or song,
in ways you’ve never experienced before.
