Accuphase DAC-60 Digital Input Board
The DAC-60 is a digital input option board that lets you feed digital sources directly into a compatible Accuphase preamplifier or integrated amplifier.
It adds USB, optical, and coaxial digital inputs, automatically switching between them and detecting sample rate and bit depth on the fly. The onboard converter is built around a parallel ES9016K2M design, and USB support runs all the way up to 384kHz/32-bit PCM and DSD up to 11.29MHz.
Function
- An automatic change of the coax input / optical fiber /USB input
- Automatic recognition of number of sampling frequency /bit /MHz de-emphasis
Guaranteed specifications

：Sampling frequency DSD/2.8224MHz,5.6448MHz,11.2896MHz(1bit)
*11.2896MHz(ASIO only)
：PCM/ 32kHz～384kHz,32bit - OPTICAL：JEITA CP-1212 compliant
：Sampling frequency 32kHz～96kHz, 24bit - COAXIAL：IEC 60958/AES-3 compliant
：Sampling frequency 32kHz～192kHz, 24bit - About sampling frequency display
when DAC-60 is installed in C-2120, E-600, E-470, E-370, or E-270
Sampling frequencies up to 192 kHz are shown as is.
Signals with the following sampling frequencies are handled without problem,
but the indication is always "192.0 kHz":
【DSD】 2.8224 MHz, 5.6448 MHz, 11.2896 MHz
【PCM】 352.8 kHz – 384 kHz
* The reproduction of music data by the USB depends on OS on the PC and softwareof music reproduction.
* Please refer to the manual of the PC for setting and the connection method of the PC about USB.
Supplied accessories
- USB Utility CD-ROM
Connection
* If multiple input signals are supplied at the sametime, the unit automatically locks onto a signal when"OPTION 1" is selected, using the following priority sequence: COAXIAL → OPTICAL → USB
* To exclude a signal from being selected, either disconnect the cable or turn power of the respective equipment off.
