INTRODUCTION The C 510’s dynamic range, the accurate portrayal of music’s subtle nuances from soft to loud, is better by about 20dB compared to other DACs and Preamps! And because the volume level is controlled by mathematics in the digital domain, there is no mechanical or electrical imprecision; all volume levels have exactly the same circuit conditions. Also, with the 35 bit architecture of the C 510, even 24 bit files are not truncated until well below the threshold of audibility.
