Mytek Says

Over 20 years of experience in building mastering grade converters and other audio equipment has been utilized to create this digital to analogue converter. Its sophisticated audio path is designed to deliver bit perfect, high quality, transparent sound to your speakers and headphones. The Brooklyn DAC+ will play:
PCM up to 32-bit / 384 kHz
DSD64, DSD128, DSD256
MQA master quality files off online streaming services
Vinyl records utilizing its precision M/C, M/M phono preamplifier
Any other digital source equipped with TOSlink, SPDIF, AES or DSD SDIF out
Any other analogue source plugged into analogue input
The Brooklyn DAC+ has been optimized for highest performance under Windows, Mac OS and Linux. Based on a newly developed Mytek Hi-Speed USB (USB2) Audio Class 2 32-bit/384 kHz Integer Interface, the Brooklyn DAC+ provides very low latencies as well as extreme stability.
Although the Brooklyn DAC+ looks similar to its predecessor (Brooklyn DAC) it has been completely redesigned inside. All changes:
New state-of-the-art DA chip with more filters available
Redesigned analogue circuits (separate for left and right channel)
New balanced headphone amp with high quality analogue volume control chip built-in
Optimized clock section
Guarantee pristine, transparent and very musical sound!
