NuPrime Evolution DAC-2
Reference Digital. Real Musical Emotion.
The NuPrime Evolution DAC-2 is a high-performance digital-to-analogue converter designed to reveal more from streamed music, CD transports, digital sources and computer audio. It combines advanced processing, carefully controlled analogue circuitry and a quiet, stable power architecture to make digital playback feel more immediate, spacious and emotionally convincing.
Whether you are upgrading a premium streaming system or building a complete high-end separates setup, the Evolution DAC-2 brings greater focus, lower background noise and richer musical detail to every connected source.
Conversion without compromise
Engineered for Musical Realism
The Evolution DAC-2 is designed to do more than decode a digital signal. Its architecture is focused on preserving timing, lowering unwanted noise and delivering a cleaner analogue signal to the rest of your music system.
Dual-Mono Conversion
Separate left and right channel conversion paths help reduce crosstalk and support more precise stereo imaging, stronger placement and greater soundstage depth.
Precision DAC Stage
High-quality conversion circuitry is selected to support low noise, accurate decoding and the fine resolution needed to reveal the texture within complex recordings.
FPGA Signal Processing
Dedicated FPGA processing assists with clock correction, digital filtering and jitter reduction to help maintain focus, timing and musical flow.
Low-Noise Regulation
Carefully controlled power regulation helps create a more stable operating environment for the digital and analogue stages, reducing interference and background noise.
Reference digital-to-analogue conversion
A Clearer Route From Digital to Music
The NuPrime Evolution DAC-2 is built for listeners who want their digital system to communicate with the scale, depth and natural flow normally associated with a carefully configured analogue source. Its advanced processing and refined analogue output stage help unlock more from both familiar and high-resolution recordings.
- Dual-mono digital-to-analogue architecture for enhanced stereo separation.
- FPGA-based processing for clock optimisation, filtering and jitter management.
- Balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA outputs for flexible amplifier connection.
- Multiple digital inputs for streamers, computers, CD transports and other sources.
- Low-noise regulated power design to support cleaner analogue performance.
- Rigid aluminium chassis with refined resonance-control design details.
Connect every digital source
Flexible Digital and Analogue Integration
The Evolution DAC-2 can become the central digital conversion stage in a high-end hi-fi system, connecting modern streaming hardware, computer audio and traditional digital transports to your amplification.
Streaming & Network Audio
Connect a high-quality music streamer and give your digital library, subscription service or network player a dedicated reference-level conversion stage.
- Ideal for premium streamers and digital transports.
- Helps reveal finer timing, space and texture in high-resolution music.
- A strong upgrade route for source-led hi-fi systems.
Computer & USB Audio
Use the DAC-2 as the dedicated digital hub for computer-based playback, bringing more control and refinement to music stored locally or accessed through desktop applications.
- USB connection for compatible computer-audio systems.
- Designed for high-resolution digital playback.
- Supports a cleaner route from computer to amplifier.
Balanced Amplifier Systems
Balanced XLR outputs make the DAC-2 an excellent partner for premium preamplifiers, integrated amplifiers and power-amplifier systems with balanced line-level inputs.
- Balanced XLR outputs for compatible high-end systems.
- RCA outputs for wider system compatibility.
- Suitable for direct connection or preamplifier-led systems.
Designed to stay out of the way
Refined Engineering. Purposeful Design.
The Evolution DAC-2 is designed to look at home in a premium hi-fi system while keeping the focus on performance. Its rigid chassis, controlled internal layout and clear display provide practical everyday usability without distracting from the music.
- Compact, rigid aluminium construction for mechanical stability and clean presentation.
- Resonance-conscious top surface designed to support quieter, more controlled operation.
- Clear front-panel display for source and playback status information.
- Intuitive controls and remote operation for straightforward day-to-day use.
- High-quality connectors for dependable integration with premium audio components.
“A great DAC does not make digital sound impressive. It lets the timing, texture and emotion of the performance feel more natural.”
