M2Tech has upgraded its Young DAC, and the name Young DSD should be sufficiently revealing.
Last week we had a news about M2Tech`s new headphone amplifier Marley , which is an advanced and flexible device that can even function as an integrated amplifier if you have very easy-powered speakers.
Marco told us that they also have a recently upgraded DAC, named Young DSD. This has been prelaunched for a while, and had its first public preview right before Christmas. But now it is ready for sale, and the contents of the upgrade disclosed by name. For Young DSD follow of course last year's trend, by offering playback / conversion of DSD files, both in normal and double rate. That means DSD64 and DSD128.
In addition, it is new that it is balanced, and that it has full functionality preamp. This means that it has digital inputs, but a digitally controlled analog volume control.
Young DSD also has coax and balanced digital inputs, and one USB input. There are also single-ended (using the adapter) and balanced output.
