NuPrime AMG DAC - DAC and Analogue Preamplifier

The NuPrime AMG DAC combines dual ESS9038Q2M converters with a discrete-component analogue output stage. The two DAC chips decode the stereo channels independently, while a MUSES72320 volume-control circuit allows the unit to function as a preamplifier. Individual input-level adjustment helps match different sources.

Coaxial, optical, USB and HDMI I2S digital inputs are complemented by a stereo analogue input and a proprietary external-receiver port. Balanced XLR and RCA outputs, switchable gain and a trigger output support integration with power amplifiers. Bluetooth or Wi-Fi reception requires an optional external receiver. The HDMI connector carries NuPrime I2S audio and is not a conventional television or disc-player HDMI input.
