The B.dac EX is a new DAC with streaming and acoustic correction from French brand, B.audio.
Technology
The streaming inputs are optimally interfaced with B.audio’s patented Source Jitter Removal (SJR) technology – a process that they tell us effectively eliminates 100% of the source jitter.
Network Functionalities
The available features include compatibility with protocols UPnP, MPD, LMS, NAA, Roon, Airplay and Spotify. Access to streaming services (Qobuz, Tidal, Spotify …) via compatible iOS and Android applications. Playback of various formats: PCM up to 384kHz / DXD / DoP / native DSD up to DSD 256 plus an integrated cloud / UPnP server which makes data stored on USB media accessible over the network.
Acoustic Correction
The onboard DSP features parametric acoustic correction allowing you to make the best out of the listening environment. In-house developed, this functionality is based on 64-bit architecture. The overall gain is determined automatically without user intervention, which guarantees the absence of saturation regardless of the parameters used. These specific features preserve the signal quality, thereby ensuring an optimal result.
