ABOUT THE DMS-700

rd
The DMS-700 represent the 3 generation of our Cary Audio's renown DMS platform. This platform is the pinnacle of
network audio streaming playback and will provide years of trouble-free enjoyment. With a network connection, firmware
updates are pushed to the DMS and will notify you each time an update is available, ensuring all the latest features and
updates. The DMS-700 uses a single 4-channel AKM-4499 R2R Ladder DAC Chip. While the previous generation of DMS used
AKM's outstanding voltage driven Delta-Sigma DACs, the DMS-700 use AKM's flagship current driven R2R Ladder DAC.
Current driven R2R Ladder DACs are more difficult to implement but can sound more analog like allowing for more insight,
breath, and texture into your music. In addition, the DMS-700 uses an FPGA (Field Programable Gate Array) chip to work in
conjunction with the DAC to ensure absolute accuracy and precision timing. This timing is elevated even further in the DMS-
700 thanks to the use of premium Crystek Clock Oscillators, a decisive step forward from previous DMS generations. Of
course, playback of all current and future formats and resolutions including MQA, PCM up to 32 bit /768kHz and DSD up to
512 are natively supported with enhanced support for high resolution PCM and DSD audio via SPDIF inputs and outputs as
well. The DMS-700 is MQA certified with full MQA decoders with the latest MQA custom filters resulting in life-like studio
quality sound with a naturalness and decay that beyond reproach. The DMS-700 Network Audio Player/Streamer/DAC can
connect either wired or wireless to your network for playback of digital music files stored on networked computers, NAS
drives, or from internet music services such as TIDAL, Qobuz, Spotify Connect and vTuner. They are also Roon Ready
endpoints allowing for a content rich browsing and playback experience within the Roon ecosystem. Direct file playback can
also be achieved from the DMS-700 USB-A inputs using a USB Hard Drive/thumb drive, or SD Card inserted directly into the
front or rear of the DMS. For connecting to all other non-integrated music services, such as Pandora, Amazon Music, etc.,
the DMS-700 include high resolution better than CD Qualcomm aptX™ HD Bluetooth and Airplay streaming protocols. For
connecting legacy digital sources, the DMS-700 provides Coaxial, Optical, and AES/EBU digital inputs to round out a
complete digital music hub for all your digital needs. Headphone listening with the DMS-700 takes on a different twist with
the inclusions of Bluetooth output for connecting to Bluetooth headphones or speakers. The DMS-700 use advanced MU-
MIMO Wi-Fi technology for enhanced 5G Wi-Fi capabilities.
