PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Where to start….It was a long journey with big expectations but unclear result. Took 2 years to complete the journey and now enjoy the result.

WAVE Tube DAC is finally complete and sounds outstanding. It actually surpassed all our expectations!

Now the technical part:

All format PCM and DSD native reproduction. All format inputs COAX, Optical, AES, USB and I2S. Software based volume control with option to bypass. When VOLUME is turned all the UP, it is bypassed. Two separate filters for PCM and DSD(over USB). When I2S is used, there is no DSD filter. Option to invert the phase of the signal.

Dual parallel DAC chips. No capacitors in the signal path. USB is self powered and because of that you can use USB cable providing only the signal, but not power, which allows for better sound.

Very elaborated tube based power supply including special filtering, dual choke, separate DC filament power supply for all tubes. Super high-end components. All silver wiring. Special design IV conversion. Tube gain stage is based on Russian super tube 6С45П-E. This tube outperforms any 9 pin tube(including 417, D3A) normally used in gain stages. 3 transformers, 6 dual regulated digital power supplies, 4 regulated analog power supplies.

Sound: This is the hardest part, because it is a personal opinion, not necessary to align with others.

Well the sound is immersive. Feels like you are in the studio. You hear some tiny, in the background details and sound you’ve never heard or expected to be recorded. Very lively and spacious sound with big body and very refined mids and highs.

One more thing that might sound ridiculous or offensive to vinyl lovers and audiophiles. It outperforms vinyl sound!

I know how crazy it sounds. I was and still am a vinyl guy, but I have to admit – it sounds amazing and I prefer it over vinyl in 80% of the time.
