BRAX DSP – Upgrade Module – Analog Output with ESS
Analog stereo output module with ESS converter for retrofitting a BRAX DSP
High-end sound without compromise
For demanding music lovers who want to refine even the finest details, the BRAX DSP – Upgrade Analog ESS module offers the opportunity to elevate an existing system to the highest level of sound fidelity and musical expression.
From the very beginning of the BRAX DSP development, one thing was clear: uncompromising sound quality requires absolute attention to every detail. At the heart of the Analog ESS module is the high-performance ES9039Q2M 32 Bit, 2-channel D/A converter from ESS Technology, featuring HyperStream IV Dual DAC technology and advanced SABRE HiFi architecture, combined with the audiophile TI/BurrBrown OPA1612 operational amplifier.
This combination delivers finest signal resolution, extremely low distortion, and an exceptional level of detail. In addition, seven configurable digital FIR output filters and switchable output voltage allow precise adaptation to individual sound concepts.
This high-end product – Made in Germany – is completed by its presentation in an elegant wooden case, underlining the exceptional standards of the BRAX philosophy.
