Tangent DAC II

D/A converter with pre-amp output

Tangent’s selection of compact audio separates also includes an excellent digital to analog converter, now in its second generation. The Tangent DAC II is a perfect match to the rest of the line-up. Use it as a DAC connected to an integrated amplifier or a pair of powered speakers or use its built-in pre-amplifier function with the Tangent Powerampster II.

 

The Tangent DAC II features a range of digital inputs, including two optical TosLink, a coaxial S/PDIF and a USB type B for connecting a PC or Mac computer. It also comes with built-in Bluetooth aptX for wireless streaming from a smart device. The digital-to-analog stage is based on a Sabre series ES9023 chipset from ESS Technology, which supports PCM up to 192kHz and DSD512. Connection to an amplifier or powered speaker, can be done using a pair of single-ended RCA or balanced XLR cables.

 

As a bonus feature, the DAC also comes with a headphone output on the front, and includes a remote control.
