Where “C” = Clock and “D”=DAC.
I got more than a glimpse of the new Master Fidelity NADAC C & NADAC D at the recent Vivid Audio Moya M1 event at GTT Audio.
I’ll point you to the Master Fidelity website for the skinny on the tech behind the NADAC D ($50,500) digital to analog converter because it takes some explaining but in essence it relies on “customize dedicated devices” built by “specialized integrated circuit companies” for the 1-bit DAC.
The NADAC C ($50,500) is an “ultra-low-noise Master Clock” that relies on a “Double Aged Crystal Oscillator” for time keeping while offering 2x BNC 10 MHz output as well a 625 kHz clock output port for use with equally endowed DACs (like the previous NADAC).
I reviewed the Vivid Audio GIYA G3 Series 2 Loudspeakers as well as the Auralic ARIES G2.2 that will be in use in GTT’s CAF system so you can check my work in person (wink).
