DAC-10, DAC-10H

JLM · « **Reply #20 on:** 30 Mar 2015, 02:44 am »

Visually the images show the DAC-10/DAC-10H as narrower than deep.

The website specifies the DAC-10/DAC-10H to be exactly the same width and depth.

Jason's above postings of the unit specifications above does not include dimensions (or weight).

Please clarify.

Not totally precise since I am measuring it in the stack, in my system, and mine sits on anti-vibration feet, but:

Little over 8.5" wide x 14" deep and about 2.5" or so high.

It appears the website and manual are misprints.

Standard component widths are 17", so this is considered 1/2 width.

Very similar in size to the Reference 9 chassis. (might be taller)

Sorry, the correct dimension:
Height: 59 mm (2.32")
Width: 215.4 mm (8.5")
Depth: 382.6 mm (15")

For fixed volume at 0 db for home theater by pass:
Press and hold both buttons 3 sec to activate/deactivate Theater-Mode.
During Theater-Mode volume adjustment is disabled. Volume is set at 0 db. Headphone outputs are also disabled.
This affects all input channels.

Perhaps a long shot but I have to ask: I recently sold a Slim Devices Transporter which I used together with Nuforce P8 preamp and 2 Nuforce Ref 9 V2 monoblocks an a pair of Mark &Daniel Maxiumus Monitor speakers.

I'm thinking about replacing the Transporter (and the Nuforce P8 preamp) with a DAC10 to get a "all in one preamp/DAC" and play music from my laptop. Just wondering if you think the Nuprime DAC10 is a better solution than the Transporter/Nuforce P8? Surely dac-technology must have evolved over the years but is the difference very smaill sonically?

I really like the thought of having a dac/preamp in one box.

Appreciate your thoughts.

Yes, it would make a very noticeable improvement.

Primarily, due to the "much better" DAC chipset, a better volume control, a superior Power Supply, DSD and high REZ capability, and less cables and compression connections.

Even the DAC-9 would be noticeably better.

All this is assuming that your room acoustics and hearing acuity would allow you to hear the differences.

Thank you for the answer, much appreciated.

Good morning and Happy Easter to all.
a question:
I do not find the value of the output impedance of the DAC-10 on RCA and XLR.
is really balanced?
of quele USB receiver is equipped?
thank you.

I have DAC-10H and Nuforce ref9 V3SE. Can I put dac in standby with amps on without damadge? There is no triger in in amps. Or should i leave dac on all the time?
