Mytek Manhattan DAC II Silver
Manhattan II DAC is a reference USB/Network DAC/Preamplifier with MQA decoder, 384k PCM and DSD256, phono and line analog preamplifier and a reference headphone amplifier.
Integrates digital streaming and vinyl analog playback for reference listening on headphones and speakers. Phono input card is optional. Optional Roon Ready Network Card turns the DAC into streamer.
The Manhattan DAC II design uses the same chassis, same power supply, and front panel circuits as the original Manhattan. It uses a completely new, redesigned main board. This offers a substantial sound quality upgrade. Significantly better detail and resolution, and state of the art transparent analog preamplifier performance.
