Isabella is a lovely looking lady!
May I ask what formats she accepts on her digital inputs: word size and sample rate?
Also, I would have been thrilled if you had given her a headphone output to make her a pre-DAC head-amp.  Perhaps that would have marred her looks, but nothing says the socket has to be on the faceplate.
Congratulations.

Hi PNCD,

Welcome to audiocircle and the RWA forum!

The optional dac section of the Isabella will accept USB and SPDIF (via coax and optical).

In all cases it will accept word sizes up to 24-bit word lengths, but the actual dac chip used is 16-bit.

As for sampling rates, with spdif you can use up to 192khz.  With USB, I believe 48k is the max. 

Regarding the headphone amp option, this is definitely something that I am looking into!

More to come...

Thanks,

Vinnie
