The Devilsound Labs Snowflake DAC

NEW - Version 2.1 Building on the solid foundation of the v2 DAC, the v2.1 features clear improvements in tonality. Cryogenic treatment results in smoother, cleaner presentation, with greater instrument detail and a more realistic sound stage. For technical details on the DAC, see the Devilsound DAC design page.

A merger between the computer audio and audiophile worlds, the DAC brings the highest quality components and advanced audio circuitry to your home computer (PC or Mac), giving you amazing audio play back with plug and play simplicity.

Through clever design and meticulous engineering, the entire sound card circuitry has been engineered to fit into a single USB to RCA cable. Simply plug one end into your computer, and the other into your stereo for clean, clear sound.

The Devilsound DAC bypasses your computer's built-in sound card, bringing the benefits of an audiophile grade digital to analog converter to your computer, with single cable simplicity.

The non-oversampled (NOS) output stage puts minimal processing between you and your music. By eliminating the harsh digital filtering used in most commercially available audio devices, the Devilsound DAC creates exceptionally open, natural sound. The DC-coupled output insures exact reproduction of low frequency notes, with no time-smearing.

The result is clear, detailed audio, with deep, articulated bass.

"Excellent sound quality, reasonable price, and absolutely simple to use." – Computer Audiophile

"The converter is extremely good at playing well-recorded music (like Johnny Cash’s American III), with a big, immediately impressive soundstage, a strong and deep bass and lots of energy from top to bottom. And what remains especially good about the Devilsound is its ability to handle vocals with ease and detail – Ali Farka Touré’s final Savane album is a perfect example, handling the frail power of a dying man’s voice with exceptional grace. This is a quality product in a very small package that represents the perfect starting place for computer audio without tears, and you do have to go very far up the DAC list to find better."

"The Devilsound DAC is perfectly capable of delivering high-quality sound from a computer to most audio systems. It’s tonally accurate, has a satisfying degree of resolution, and reproduces musical subtleties with surprising nuance and focus, particularly in the midrange. What impresses me is that such an inexpensive device can get so many things so right. And when you factor in the cost of the included cables, well, it’s easy to envision the Devilsound in a system based on a computer you already have, a pair of EgglestonWorks Dianne speakers, and a Simaudio or Bel Canto integrated amplifier -- for about $6000, you’d have quite satisfying sound."

The Devilsound DAC v2, predecessor to the current v2.1, was given a Best of 2009 award by Enjoy the Music.com! "Even when compared to a much higher-priced DAC, such as the Bel Canto DAC3, the Devilsound ranks very well. The DAC3 has a blacker background with no hint of noise, as well as a slightly more dynamic overall presentation. But the Devilsound is its equal in terms of depth, soundstage width, and even low-level inner detail. I was especially impressed with how well the Devilsound matched the DAC3 in terms of three-dimensionality and imaging palpability."

" I hate to say it but I was surprised that such good sound could come from this little device. This DAC simultaneously brings you into the future of audio playback while taking you back to simpler times when a couple pairs of RCA cables were all you needed. If you have an open USB port and an open set of RCA inputs in your audio system you owe it to yourself to take a serious look at the Devilsound DAC." – Chris Connaker, computeraudiophile.com (click for full review)

"... the Devilsound DAC sounds incredibly pleasing to the ear. The top end is smooth and unobtrusive, and the soundstage offers depth alongside definition; it's a remarkably pleasant playback path. I stacked the DAC against various convertors from RME, Digidesign, MOTU and Presonus—all at least five times the price of the DAC. And I've got to say it sounded very sweet. For a 'listening' system, i.e., one that you'll have playing for appreciation of recordings, the DAC will be very hard to beat." – Brad Watts, Audio Technology Magazine, Issue 63
