Professional 8-channel Digital-to-Analog and Digital-to-Digital converter for DSD (up to 128Fs/5.6MHz) and PCM (up to 24-bit/96kHz) formats


Our goal in designing the DAC8 MKIV 8-channel D/A and D/D Converter was to create a completely neutral, wholly transparent conduit- for engineer, artist and producer- to the musical performance. If, to paraphrase Keats, "Beauty is truth and truth beauty" then the DAC8 MKIV is both. What you put in is what you get out: Nothing more, nothing less.


The DAC8 MKIV accomplishes this goal by employing EMM Labs proprietary True Internal DSD Processing technology for analog-to-digital, and digital-to-digital conversion. Enabling it to deliver the most accurate, highest resolution recordings possible in both DSD and PCM formats.


Here's how a couple of our customers describe what our converters do in the studio:


"These converters are so transparent and accurate that they have changed the way I work. I find that fewer microphones are needed to get satisfactory results. No more than seven microphones were used on any of these recordings and that was for a six-channel surround recording! Not only do these converters work well in DSD, but I can safely say these are the best sounding, most accurate PCM converters I have heard."

"I will not do a session without our EMM Labs DSD converters or Switchman, they have become that much a part of my essential must-have list! I demand that our digital converters and control room monitoring control be absolutely transparent. I depend on Ed's EMM Labs equipment to deliver what I capture through the Telarc microphones - and it always delivers!"
