Amplifying and converting

The SPL Diamond is a high-quality DA converter and preamplifier for digital music lovers. It has six digital inputs, an external word clock interface and an analog volume control. With the innovative VOLTAiR technology and the premium DAC includingDLP120, it offers outstanding sound quality. or PCM or DSD, or USB or S/PDIF, or 768 kHz or 256x, the SPL Diamond can process all formats and sampling rates. It automatically synchronizes with the clock of the source or an external clock and ensures precise conversion without jitter. The selected clock source and the detected sample rate are also shown on the LED display. The volume is adjusted with a solid aluminum Alps potentiometer, which can also be removed from the signal path via a dip switch on the back of the Diamond if you want to connect the SPL Diamond to another amplifier. The SPL Diamond is therefore a top-class DAC and preamplifier that leaves nothing to be desired and turns digital music into an experience.
