The Mytek Digital STEREO96 DAC is a two channel hi-end Digital to Analog  converter for recording and mastering applications. The main feature of this converter is its outstanding sound quality which makes it suitable for the most demanding projects when preserving the original signal quality is a required. The Mytek Digital STEREO96 series is a part of an extended family of 1/3 rack units. The STEREO96 DAC can be used as stand-alone device for variety of studio applications such as mastering, recording and playback, whenever the highest quality conversion is required.The sound of Mytek converters can be described as "transparent". Mytek design's their converters to be as faithful to the signal as possible, rather than follow philosophy of some other manufacturers who offer "analog" or "tube" sounding converters. Mytek converters are closest to a straight wire, which is especially evident when used at full 24bit/96kHz resolution. Sonically they are equal or better than the most expensive mastering converters. Even when used in 16 bit mode, the Stereo96 converters produce 20dB (10 times) less distortion than typical converters found in budget recording equipment.Mytek Digital STEREO96 DAC Features:Jitter free operation with SuperLock (tm) technology. In SuperLock (tm) mode ultra stable 10ps internal clock allows for D/A conversion of incoming signals of any sample rate with 192kHz sampling bandwidth. This method provides 100% immunity to source jitter and relaxed filtering with 100kHz bandwidth.
