AudioNemesis DC-1 VLE D/A AUDIO CONVERTER: PRODUCT PHILOSOPHY AND DESIGN This is the simplified structure of standard DC-1: As it can be seen, the original DC-1 did make use of a very simple and effective design (fall 2004). There was only one input (S/PDIF 75 ohms) with a top quality digital transformer.

AudioNemesis On the contrary, from the dac (d/a converter) everything is different! Diodes have been exchanged with really very special devices. They are fast-soft recovery type in TO-220 case and they have top performance in terms of speed (<25ns) and smoothness, improving in a dramatic way the sonic performance! While standard DC-1 used one 16bit d/a converter chip, the Upgrade Edition was using 2 chips in parallel, for better resolution and improved driving capability.
