The NuWave DSD combines discrete class A architecture with hand selected ICs for its output stage.
Hundreds of hours of listening evaluations were employed to select the perfect output topology to
achieve the NuWave DSD’s open, powerful, spacious and three dimensional presentation of music.
The NuWave DSD features a large, high current analog power supply for great performance benefi ts.
The NuWave DSD features similar low jitter fi xed clocks found in the world famous PS Audio
