Maverick Audio Tube DAC/headphone amp

[Stereo_Electronics 0]

Maverick Tube Magic Upsampling DAC lets you “upgrade” the music listening experience, for any type audio setup, from computer-based systems, to network music devices, game consoles, or standard CD/DVD/Blu-Ray players. Just plug it into your existed setup and enjoy the superior high end sound quality.

Upsampling your digital music

From 16bit to 24bit, from 44.1 kHz to 96 kHz, Tube Magic’s professional-level Audio DAC produces an extremely accurate and distortion-free digital to analog conversion. Your digital music files have never sounded this good before.

Carefully designed analog processing circuit

Without a good analog stage, even the best quality digital music will sound dry and lifeless. After all, music will only be played in analog format via amplifiers, speakers and headphones. We spent a great deal of time to enhance the analog circuit to make sure the analog signal will sound natural, transparent and in great detail.

“Tube Magic” vacuum tube pre-amp outputs stage



Besides the normal RCA outputs, Tube Magic comes with a vacuum tube pre-amp outputs stage. Powered by a vintage 5670 vacuum tube (manufactured back to 1970’s!), it adds a lot warmth and smoothness to the music, especially to Vocal and Jazz. Furthermore, you can use this DAC as a full functional tube pre-amp, adding the “tube magic” to the two analog and three digital inputs.

Wait, it is also a damn good Headphone Amplifier!

With up to 600 ohm impedance and 1000mW power output, this DAC has enough horse power to drive any headphone on the planet.

High-end linear power supply

R-core transformer, super-regulated power circuit purifies and enriches the digital to analog conversion bringing extremely pure, natural and detailed music output.

Uncompromised build quality

Brushed aluminum front panel, 100% handmade, audio grade capacitors and resistors. We make sure this baby is a serious audio equipment.

It’s flexible and easy to set-up

Two digital sources – network music devices, media players, games consoles, CD/DVD players etc. can be connected concurrently using S/PDIF (Coaxial) or Toslink (Optical) inputs.

Two analog sources – portable music players, vintage audio equipments, any audio devices without digital outputs can be connected concurrently using the RCA inputs.

Additionally, you can connect the Tube Magic DAC directly to your PC using a USB connection (no drivers needed) and dramatically improve the quality of your digital music.
