Overview

Sporting balanced analogue output and the typical, tried and trusted input options, the 1551E DAC from MBL shows that while DAC technology has certainly progressed, there's still gems to find from years passed.

The 'True Audio' setting disables the DAC’s error correction circuits and is recommended by MBL for "maximum sound quality". In MBL's own words describing the 1511 "We want to give our customers a more emotionally-oriented sound; one could say a more 'analogue-style' sound, with smoother and more relaxed high frequencies."

Please note, as with other 1511 models all inputs are limited to accepting data up to a maximum of 24-bit/96kHz.

With a toroidal power supply and well designed chassis, the unit will look the part in any high end hifi system - and certainly sound it!
