USED AURALIC Vega DAC

The Vega The elegant-looking Vega ($3499) is housed in a slim, brushed-aluminum enclosure. The front panel is dominated by a wide, rectangular, yellow-on-black OLED display, to its right a domed knob and a red LED. The rear panel offers single-ended and balanced outputs, respectively on RCAs and XLRs, and five digital inputs: transformer-coupled AES/EBU on an XLR (the default), two transformer-coupled coaxial S/PDIF on RCAs, one optical S/PDIF on TosLink, and a high-speed USB2.0 port. The AES/EBU and S/PDIF inputs handle 16- and 24-bit data with sample rates up to 192kHz; the USB port also operates with sample rates of 352.8 and 384kHz, and will accept DSD64 (2.8224MHz) and DSD128 (5.6448MHz) data using the DoP v1.1 protocol.

The Vega uses a high-precision master-clock circuit that the company calls the Femto Master Clock. Covered by a hefty heatsink, this uses what is claimed to be an "aerospace grade," temperature-compensated crystal oscillator with an "ultra low noise" linear power supply. The jitter is specified as an extraordinarily low 82 femtoseconds, with phase noise at –168dBc/Hz. The user can choose between four clock settings.

Once processed, the oversampled 32-bit data are fed to an ESS Sabre³² 9018 D/A converter chip. This is a premium-quality, 32-bit, delta-sigma part with eight individual DAC sections, these operated in two sets of four in push-pull parallel to get the lowest possible noise and the highest linearity, even at very low signal levels.
