The Stellar DAC PS Audio, December 19, 2024

PS Audio is pleased to announce the launch of their newest component, the Stellar DAC.



At the heart of Stellar DAC is its industry-leading ESS Hyperstream 32-bit DAC and its fully balanced, Class A gain stage. While numerous DACs employ ESS parts, no one but PS Audio combines those parts with our Digital Lens reclocking technology at its input and our hybrid Class A gain stage at its output.


In three words the Stellar DAC is rich, lush, and powerful. A music lover’s answer to spiraling cost-no-object equipment without sacrifice.

Stellar DAC

Stellar DAC brings wonderful imaging and musicality to any high-performance system at a price you can afford.

Stellar DAC embodies everything PS Audio has strived for in high-value electronics.

Stellar DAC features a built-in Digital Lens, I²S inputs, adjustable filters, and a hand-matched class-A analog output stage that offers breathtaking clarity and musicality. Rediscover the wealth of music in your library with Stellar. Rich, sweet, and always a musical treat, Stellar DAC is our best value in bringing life to music.

Design

The idea of building an affordable, high-performance Digital to Analog Converter that can act as the center of an audiophile's music system was at the core of our engineering efforts with Stellar DAC. At this instrument's heart is the industry-leading Sabre32 bit Hyperstream Digital to Analog converter as fed by PS Audio's own Digital Lens reclocking circuit. Once the incoming digital audio data has been accumulated and organized, the Digital Lens outputs near-perfect data without jitter for an amazingly clear and clean image. Stellar DAC features a fully balanced Class A analog output stage with multiple power supplies, DSD, I²S, and asynchronous USB. Stellar DAC is a winner in any system.

Application

The Stellar DAC is a full-function Digital Analog Converter that can take in any digital source, from DSD to PCM, and output low distortion, high-resolution fully balanced analog. It is all you need as the basis for a reference quality digitally based music system. Add a power amplifier and a pair of loudspeakers, and using Stellar DAC's built-in lossless volume control, you'll be reveling in sonic bliss within moments. Connect a computer, CD player, streamer, AirLens, or digital source of any kind to any of Stellar's multiple digital inputs, and you've just built one of the highest-value music systems in the world.
