AURALiC VEGA Digital Preamp and DAC (32-Bit, 384kHz, DSD/DXD)

Description: AURALiC VEGA Digital Preamp and DAC (32-Bit, 384kHz, DSD/DXD) Very capable DAC from AURALiC which they refer to officially as a digital audio processor. 32-Bit / 384kHz decoding, plus DSD64 (2.8224MHz), DSD128 (5.6448MHz), and DXD file format capability. Originally sold for $3499 several years back.Tested in our lab and working perfectly.The caseworks is overall clean, knobs are responsive, and note that the the OLED display has some burn-in from being on too long but is very readable. We changed the display to stay on auto-dim so it doesn't get any worse over time. AURALiC Standout Features Include:• Sanctuary Audio ProcessorSanctuary audio processor, the heart of VEGA, is based on multi-core ARM9 architecture with the calculating capability at 1000MIPS (millions of instructions per second), ideal for handling multi-channel high resolution music. VEGA supports DXD format (352.8KS/s and 384KS/s PCM signals in 32bit) as well as DSD stream at 2.8224MHz and 5.6448MHz in native through 'DoP V1.1' transmission protocol.• Megahertz UpsamplingThe internal megahertz upsampling algorithm can process and up-sample all incoming PCM signals to 1.5MHz at 32bit, which not only improves the precision of the DAC, but also creates a new Nyquist frequency for all PCM signals farther away from the top end of audio frequency. As a result, our engineers are able to design a brand-new analog circuit structure with larger bandwidth and faster slew rate.• Femto Master ClockFemto master clock utilizes aerospace grade crystal oscillator, ultra-low noise linear power supply and temperature compensation technology to generate the master clock with extremely low jitter at 82 femtoseconds. More importantly, the phase noise which affects sound quality a lot has been dramatically reduced to -168dBc/Hz.• Flexible Filter ModeVEGA has six built-in filter modes and each contains several digital filters optimized for corresponding sampling rate. These filters are developed using AURALiC's sub- jective auditory sense and objective testing data relationship models with the goal of optimizing the listening experience of different music in all formats.• ORFEO Class-A Output ModuleIn order to drive various loads and to match with different power amplifiers, VEGA is equipped with AURALiC's patented ORFEO Class-A module. The principle of this module is to use a mass of small signal components with best linear characteristics. By packing them through a thermal balance procedure and biasing the transistors into Class-A, ORFEO achieves impressive performance with the open loop distortion less than 0.001%.

We only buy equipment that we admire and are passionate about. No mid-fi, no gimmicks, no junk. Each piece of equipment is cosmetically restored and fully tested in our well-equipped lab by an engineer with 30+ years of experience in the HiFi world. If it does not meet or exceed the original manufactures specifications, it will not be sold. We are very selective about the equipment we purchase, focusing on mostly analog, high-build quality, American, and European built units. Please note we are not a repair shop and only restore what we own. Through our sister company, which is an authorized dealer for McIntosh, Audio Research, Sonus Faber, ClearAudio, Project, and Sony ES, we have access to OEM parts, service, and support. ---------- PURCHASING GUIDELINES: 1) This item will be professionally packaged and insured for safe transit to your home unless you opt for local pickup from our shop. All local pickup items are only wrapped in industrial strength clear stretch wrap if the original manufacturer packaging is unavailable. Local pickup is available in Glen Rock, NJ, 07452, just a half hour drive from Midtown Manhattan, with convenient parking near our building. If we don’t have the original packaging, we use heavy-duty double-ply corrugated boxes with custom made to your item SealedAir Instapak expanding foam custom inserts. In many cases this has proven to be better than the original packaging! We also use high quality fiber reinforced tape to seal our packages. Lightweight items will be bubble wrapped and shipped in a high-quality box. 2) We will not review or accept any offers that do not go through the official eBay system. We have too many items for sale and it’s nearly impossible to keep track of offers outside of the official system. Please do not message, email, or text any offers. 3) All listings are eligible for the eBay Global Shipping Program unless the item exceeds the maximum weight/price requirements to your country. If this is the case simply message us via eBay. We only accept bank wire transfers for international payments and frequently ship worldwide via UPS. 4) Please ensure your shipping address is correct within eBay as we will ONLY ship to the eBay/PayPal Confirmed Shipping Address. No exceptions. 5) eBay may charge and collect sales tax to your state/jurisdiction which we have no control over. eBay v1.7 AURALiC VEGA Digital Preamp and DAC (32-Bit, 384kHz, DSD/DXD) Very capable DAC from AURALiC which they refer to officially as a digital audio processor. 32-Bit / 384kHz decoding, plus DSD64 (2.8224MHz), DSD128 (5.6448MHz), and DXD file format capability.
