DOUK AUDIO DAC-Q11 DAC

The Douk Audio DAC-Q11 is a unique device featuring two switchable DAC chips. It features an ESS ES9038Q2M chip and an AKM AK4493 chip. Each of these chips supports high-resolution sampling rates up to PCM 32bit 384kHz and DSD256. Users can therefore enjoy both the renowned dynamics of ESS chips and the refined tones of AKM chips. For inputs, there's Toslink optical, SPDIF coaxial and a USB-B port. Outputs are divided into two groups, each comprising an RCA output and a 3.5mm jack auxiliary output. This makes it possible to switch between the DAC's 3 operating modes, allowing you to use the two different DAC chips on each set of outputs, or just one on all outputs. Added to this is a neat aesthetic, worthy of top-of-the-range devices, thanks to a transparent glass panel revealing the Douk Audio DAC-Q11 PCB and two OLED screens for displaying information on the track being played and accessing parameters.
