Little Dot DAC USB Digital to Analog Converter!

Little Dot MK DAC_I Digital-to-Analog Converter

The Little Dot DAC_I is an exceptionally versatile, reference-quality external DAC unit with both single-ended and balanced outputs!  Four inputs (Coaxial, BNC, Optical, and USB) allows the Little Dot DAC_I to be used with digital source like a CD Transport or a computer as a standard USB audio device.  User functionality customizations include setting the bit-rate, maximum sampling frequency, and how the DAC's digital filter operate (sharp or gentle).  At the heart of the Little Dot DAC_I are the Wolfson Micro's high quality 24-bit 192Khz WM8740 DAC chip, WM8805 ultra-low jitter (50ps) digital transceiver chip, and the ultra-low distortion LM4562/LME49720/LME4910. 

The internal components have been carefully chosen for their quality and precision - tight tolerance resistors, WIMA coupling caps, ELNA and NISSEI filter caps, Toshiba optical and Neutrik XLR connectors.

Precise with flat frequency response, the Little Dot DAC_I delivers incredible fidelity without a hint of "digital harshness" for an extremely natural listen.  There are no extraneous features (built-in headphone amp, etc) that allow the design and implementation to stray from its focus on reference quality DA conversion.  Such features add to the cost and while may be useful in their own place, do not provide any additional benefit to digital to analog conversion quality.  The various settings available are not design additions, but merely access to functionality already provided by the Wolfson WM8740 chip.

Power Cord Note: Little Dot amplifiers ships with a standard Type-B power cord (American 3-pin or U-ground) suitable for use in areas such as North America, Japan, Taiwan, etc.  If your country's outlets use other power cord types (ex. Schuko) you will need a power cord of your own plug type.  You likely have several spares around your home, as any standard power cord (like your computer's power cord) will work perfectly fine.  We do apologize for any inconvenience!

Are you intrigued by our Little Dot amplifiers but worry about the process if, Heaven forbid, something were to go wrong?  Rest assured, our Little Dot products are backed by arguably the best, and most customer-friendly warranty policy in the business for your peace of mind!  Please do note however that our warranty and support only applies to Little Dot amplifiers sold through direct sales (i.e. this eBay listing) or our Authorized resellers.  We cannot provide any warranty or support for Little Dots acquired through unauthorized or gray market sellers (i.e. other sellers).

•  If on the chance a functional problem arises within the first 3 months (we've found that if issues occur, the vast majority crop up within the first month or two) of your warranty period and you send it back to us for repair, we will reimburse you the full return shipping amount once we receive it so there is absolutely no out-of-pocket cost to you!

•     From 3 months until the end of your warranty period, if a functional problem arises we will reimburse you for half of the return shipping cost once we receive it.

•     From warranty expiration to as long as you own your Little Dot, repair/labor/parts are always free - the only thing you are responsible for is shipping costs.

As you can see, we stand behind our products and are fully committed to providing the best ownership experience we can provide.  Again, our warranty only applies to Little Dots sold through direct or authorized resellers as otherwise we cannot guarantee the initial quality and A-stock, new status of Little Dots sold through unauthorized or gray market sellers.
