Mola Mola Tambaqui DAC og streamer

Med baggrund i mange forspørgsler lancerer Mola Mola nu den berømte diskrete DAC fra Makua som en separat enhed.

Mola Molas Tambaqui DAC er den perfekte opgradering for ejere af high-end systemer, der ønsker at bevare den karakteristiske lyd fra deres eksisterende forforstærker, mens de løfter deres digitale kilder til et andet niveau.

Konverteren er opdelt i to printkort. På det første kort opsamples al indkommende digital lyd til 3,125MHz/32 bit og konverteres til PWM (Pulse width modulation). På det andet print er to mono-DAC'er, hvor en diskret 32-trins FIR DAC og en enkelt-trins 4. ordens filtrerende I/V-konverter konverterer PWM til analog med 130dB SNR. Dette er tæt på den teoretiske grænse for 24-bit filer og langt ud over den for selv quad-speed DSD. Enestående er forvrængningen under støjbunden selv for fuldskalasignaler.

The music player for music lovers
The Mola Mola Tambaqui is Roon Ready certified!

Mola Mola’s Tambaqui DAC is the perfect upgrade for owners of complete high-end systems who want to retain the characteristic sound of their existing preamplifier whilst lifting their digital sources to another level. The converter is a two board stack. On the first board, all incoming digital audio is upsampled to 3.125MHz/32 bits and converted to noise shaped PWM. On the other board are two mono DACs, in which a discrete 32- stage FIR DAC and a single-stage 4th order filtering I/V converter, convert the PWM into analogue with a breathtaking 130dB SNR. This is near the theoretical limit for 24-bit files and far beyond that of even quad-speed DSD. Uniquely, distortion remains below the noise floor even for full scale signals.

With the addition of a lossless digital volume control and headphone outputs, it is also the ideal control hub of a minimalist audio system for music lovers who have moved on to a digital sources only system. This DAC, combined with a pair of Mola Mola Kaluga monoblocks constitutes the finest digital replay chain available, irrespective of price.

Operating Principle
PWM DAC with 32-stage discrete analogue FIR output stage. Avoids “sigma delta” tones and “R2R” glitch and low-level linearity errors.

Asynchronous upsampling to 3.125MHz/32 bit. 7-th order noise shaper clearing 80kHz band. Each input rate has an optimized upsampling filter chain.
