๏ฟฝ6000 - Availability January 2012

The long awaited high-end DAC that we have all been waiting for M2Tech to release, the Vaughan DAC. Like the affordable sibling the Young, the Vaughan features 32bit/384kHz operation and a plethora of inputs to satisfy any high-end systems needs and then some.

The list of inputs includes: 2 x AES/EBU, 2 x BNC S/PDIF, 2 x RCA S/PDIF, 2 x Toslink Optical, 2 x ST Fibre, 1 x Word Clock in, 1 x I2S and finally 1 x USB. Output is via unbalanced RCA or fully balanced XLR.

Other features include a dedicated headphone amplifier and 32-bit digital dithered volume control, allowing the Vaughan to feed directly into your power amplifiers. The front panel is similar to the Young in that it is a black mesh grille, however dual large matrix displays are used to show locked frequency and the selected input.

Finally, the Vaughan features 8 DA Converters, using 4 per channel and although not yet confirmed, these are probably Burr Brown chips.

The DAC features 32/384khz capability, asynchronous USB with custom drivers, word clock input, ST glass fiber input, 8 x DAC chip used (4 per channel), dedicated discrete headphone output, and 32-bit digital dithered volume control

Sampling frequencies (kHz): 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, 176.4, 192, 352.8, 384
