Professional, Portable, Affordable
With the venerable AD-1000 in mind, Apogee set out to make a series of next-generation, compact, high quality converters that both audio professionals and home recording enthusiasts will not want to do without. And although Mini-DAC is built to go and priced to move (it's far less expensive than any Apogee D/A ever), it delivers a feature rich D/A converter that is unrivaled in the pro studio world.

Digital conversion at up to 192kHz
The Mini-DAC can handle digital audio conversion at sample rates up to 192kHz. Its inputs include dual AES-EBU (breakout cable to two female XLR-3 required) handling sample rates: 44.1kHz-192kHz single-wide and 88.2kHz-192kHz double-wide, S/PDIF optical on TOS-LINK at 44.1/48kHz, S/PDIF coaxial at 44.1 - 192kHz, ADAT at 44.1/48kHz, ADAT/SMUX II for 88.2/96kHz, and ADAT/SMUX IV for 176.4/192kHz.

Precision Reference Monitoring
Are you using a massive mixer just to ride your monitor levels? Or do you have a great A/D but inferior D/A? Then make a little room for Mini-DAC. With comprehensive level control and a high quality headphone output you can hear exactly what you are committing to while recording. And when it is time to mix down, Mini-DAC provides the optimum stereo image and the most faithful analog reproduction of your carefully recorded digital audio that money can buy.
