Overview

The DA005 is a meticulously engineered audio device that prioritizes precision and performance. Its design incorporates a significant number of twin JFETs and twin transistors, ensuring superior circuit accuracy. Both the balanced and single-ended outputs feature identical LPF (low-pass filter) circuits, maintaining consistent signal fidelity across all output modes. The DA005 employs four high-performance clocks throughout the entire system, including the USB circuit. 

The DA005 includes a custom-designed high-performance USB interface utilizing the Italian Amanero solution. This four-layer board design integrates multiple low-noise power supplies. It supports both PCM and DSD decoding via USB, accommodating PCM sample rates from 44.1kHz to 384kHz and DSD formats up to DSD512. The Musetec advanced regeneration power supply system, coupled with 18 high-performance low-noise regulators, delivers clean and stable power. This is complemented by a robust analog power circuit with silicon carbide diodes, high-grade capacitors from Mundorf, MIT, and GAD, and an eight-component discrete monomer circuit for balanced and single-ended outputs.

Attention to detail extends to the build quality, featuring a six-layer heavy metal motherboard, a high-grade aluminum case, and a large VFD display. Connectivity is enhanced with premium materials, including tellurium copper RCA terminals, pure silver Jensen internal connections, and a Furukawa FI-03G power plug.
