The DAC2 series represents a complete redesign of the DAC1. Our goal was to improve every aspect
of the DAC1 while adding many of the most requested features.
The DAC2 HGC series introduced:
 HGC™ Hybrid Gain Control
 32-bit PCM D/A conversion
 Native DSD conversion
 Multi-mode Asynchronous USB
 Sample rate and word length displays
 UltraLock2™ jitter attenuation system
 Volume control bypass
 Bi-directional 12V trigger
 More I/O than any member of the DAC1 family
 Ultra low-noise high-efficiency power supplies
 Universal power supply
 Power Switch
The DAC2 D was a lower-cost digital-only version of the DAC2 HGC
 Analog inputs were removed
 Trigger I/O was removed
The DAC2 L is a lower-cost non-headphone version of the DAC2 HGC
 Headphone amplifier and jacks were removed
The DAC2 DX replaces the DAC2 D and shares flagship status with the DAC2 HGC.
The DAC2 DX adds these features to the DAC2 D:
 Dual output busses
 Output mute relays
 Dedicated MUTE and DIM buttons
 AES XLR input
