Arcam Black Box 50 England Made Digital to Analogue Converter DAC ( Used)

[
Made In England


Not only a truly classic piece of British hi-fi, but also a world first. Launched in February 1989, the Arcam Black Box DAC was world's first dedicated digital to analogue converter. Prior to this all compact disc players had been one box affairs and it was very soon after the launch of the Arcam Black Box DAC that other manufacturers joined the bandwagon and started producing two box cd players.
In all honesty Arcam's decision to launch the Arcam Black Box DAC was probably one of the best things to happen to CD, as it gave manufacturers the opportunity to delve deeper into the technology and gave consumers much improved technology and sound quality through transport to DAC clock synching that reduced jitter and improved timing and coherence of the outputted sound.
