Tube and Solid-State Output Options

The DAC Box RS offers the flexibility of two distinct output stages, allowing users to choose between a warm, relaxed tube output or a more detailed, dynamic solid-state Class A output. This versatility lets you match the DAC’s output to your personal taste and the style of music you enjoy. The inclusion of ultra-low noise, ultra-linear design, and a low output impedance ensures that the DAC delivers a clean and interference-free signal, regardless of which output stage you choose.

Exclusive Final Edition Improvements

The Final Edition of the DAC Box RS takes audio performance to new heights with the inclusion of two specially selected and matched diamond ECC88 high-end tubes. These tubes enhance the overall sound, making the DAC Box RS an even more enticing option for audiophiles seeking top-tier performance at a competitive price. In addition to the upgraded tubes, the DAC Box RS Final Edition benefits from carefully chosen electrical components and improved internal wiring, ensuring only the finest materials are used.

Upgrade with Power Box RS2 Source

For audiophiles who demand the best, the Power Box RS2 Sources provides a significant upgrade to the DAC Box RS. While the included power supply is already of high quality, the Power Box RS2 Sources elevates the performance of the DAC to an exceptional level. A linear power supply, with a toroidal transformer and shielding between the primary and secondary windings, isolates the DAC’s sensitive circuitry from interference that can often come from mains power. The separate unit design of the Power Box RS2 Sources, encased in a sturdy aluminium housing, offers superior shielding compared to other solutions, ensuring that the DAC Box RS operates at its best.

Features

  • Powers four 20V RS/RS2 devices
  • One power supply for all source components
  • Improved sound stage and detail resolution
  • Cleanest power using non-switching power supply
  • Soft start system avoids current inrush
  • Audio type toroidal transformer
  • Main isolating transformer with copper foil shielding
  • Secondary voltage rectification with precise regulation
  • High filtration capacity (10.000 μF)
  • Low ESR capacitors
  • Low noise components with surge protection
  • Rigid aluminium casing protects against interference

Testimonials

Bought some Rega Kyte speakers, stands and chords from DB online and they were incredibly helpful. They updated my delivery address very quickly and recommended a longer cut of cables which they did complimentary. They also noticed I didn’t order with banana plugs so called me back to double check, which I did mean to order. When i had some issues connecting my cables and speakers, I called for some advice which they happily gave. Excellent service and next day delivery to London. Thoroughly recommend.

Probably one of the best companies in the world. They had to special order in the speakers which took a fair bit of time, which is totally understandable, but they kept in touch with me throughout the entire time with updates (even on a Sunday!!!) and once the speakers were with them, they were dispatched and arrived next day.

The entire sound system that I purchased is insanely good, but still not as good as Doug Brady HiFi!

Guy H.

I have recently purchased a HiFi package with Doug Brady and I could not be more thrilled with my experience with them.
When I walked into the store, I was made to feel welcome and was introduced to some of the products. I produces a list of specific items I was interested in and John was really helpful in showing me these items. He set the system up so I could experience it, he made some suggestions which made the package even better. Nothing seemed too much trouble for him, he was very knowledgeable about the products and gave great advice. I didn't feel pressured to buy anything, or didn't feel that he was upselling at any point. I left with an amazing package and I'd like to thank John and the team for the fantastic experience.

It’s now two weeks since I bought home my new system and I wanted to say thanks again for all your help, advice and guidance, not to mention cups of tea. I now have a system that meets all my requirements and sounds fantastic. Special thanks to Jon, who I hope is on the road to recovery from his operation and to Roger, who helped me finalise my choice. The Rega Saturn, Hegel H190V and Dali Rubicon 2 is undoubtedly the best system I have ever owned.
