Introducing the Rega DAC, this is a 16/20/24-bit at 32kHz to 192kHz digital to analogue converter incorporating an enhanced version of the Rega designed circuit. Developed to be simple to set up and use, the Rega DAC is designed to optimise performance from any two channel PCM digital audio source such as a CD player PC or streaming device. With the PC/Laptop and MAC now widely accepted as creditable mediums for storing and streaming music. The use of high quality lossless files such as WAV, FLAC and ALAC offer performance through the DAC equal to and in some cases better than red book CD. This also makes a fantastic upgrade to many CD players including Rega’s own Apollo.
Five user selectable digital filters. Two isolated Co-axial inputs, two Toslink SPDIF inputs & Isolated USB input. Input stage comprising of a Wolfson digital receiver with a high stability low jitter clock. Jitter minimised by synchronously clocking the digital data with Rega’s own receiver PLL. A pair of parallel-connected Wolfson WM8742 DAC's, which are driven via a buffer stage. Housed in a brand new custom steel & aluminium case.
Boost Your PC or MAC's sound.

Simple to look at, the rDAC’s sleek cast aluminium casework hides the very latest digital conversion using, at its core, the outstanding 8741 IC from Wolfson Microelectronics. Offering coaxial, optical or USB digital inputs the rDAC renders music with stunning accuracy and delivers a performance of thrilling musicality. Uses for the rDAC are almost endless. Internet radio, set-top boxes and game stations can be connected via coaxial or optical leads to receive a dramatic increase in sound quality. PCs and Mac computers running music programs such as iTunes® or Windows Media Player can feed the rDAC via its USB input where special re-clocking circuitry has been deployed almost eliminating the jitter (timing inaccuracies) and noise usually associated with music in the computer environment. To achieve this Arcam have teamed up with dCS (Data Conversion Systems), licensing their Asynchronous USB Technology*. This unique system is usually reserved for ultra high-end HiFi and professional audio applications. Arcam and dCS have had a long and fruitful relationship that goes back to the highly innovative Alpha 9 & CD23 versions of dCS’s Ring DAC. The rDAC retails at £299 and is now in-store..
