QUAD-DAC ARCHITECTURE.

At the heart of the Valkyrie are four Burr-Brown DACs in a hybrid multi-bit configuration, drawing inspiration from our long-standing experience with the legendary multi-bit Philips TDA1541A. First introduced in the Pro iDSD, this interleaved design captures the magic and impact of the iconic multi-bit chipset, but with superior low-level linearity for breathtaking detail.
