Musician Audio - DRACO R2R DAC

Musician Audio Draco R2R DAC

The Musician Draco is a fully balanced, high end R2R DAC with high quality components. Versatile thanks to its complete connectivity, it can also work in NOS (Non Over Sampling) mode to avoid the artifacts that can be generated by oversampling. An incredible balanced R2R DAC The Musician Draco's R2R architecture provides fast, high-quality decoding, combined with low digital noise for maximum distortion and extremely low noise floor. Combined with the specially developed Draco digital filters, the DAC is able to provide a dynamic, rich and natural sound reproduction. A particularly complete connectivity The Musician Audio Draco R2R DAC includes most of the connections common to today's HiFi devices. We have inputs of USB-B, I2S via HDMI LVDS, AES/EBU, Toslink Optics and Coaxial. On the output side, the device offers both unbalanced RCA and balanced XLR, the latter output being obviously recommended to take advantage of the full potential of the device. NB! It is not recommended to use the XLR and RCA outputs simultaneously, as these are shared. I2S Pin Configuration of Draco PS: There is no industry standard of I2S connection. Different brand/product has different I2S line order. MUSICIAN Draco is trying to compatable with most of device by the following mode setting method if you are using standard HDMI cable: 1. Select the sound source input to I2S; 2. Press and hold the NOS button for 3 seconds until the I2S light flashes; 3. Press the NOS button during the flashing process to cycle through the phase modes (there are total 8 modes, 1X, 2X, 4X indicator lights are binary mode Display); 4. Stop the operation when you selected the satisfied sound, the machine automatically exits the mode setting function. Through the below I2S settings, Draco can basically meet most of the brands on the market. If it can not playing properly(such as hiss sound) by the above setting. This shall not be considered as a defective product, but just a matching failed. The suggested solution is to use a customized HDMI cable (The pin layout is as above).
