The HD30 is the ultimate digital control center. It does everything you could dream of—and it does so with world-class quality. There’s an abundance of inputs, from balanced AES/EBU and BNC connectors to network and USB connections—USB also supporting DSD signals. A built-in volume control allows direct connection to a power amplifier or active speakers. Highly advanced power supplies and meticulous circuit layout bring the noise floor down to an astonishing -150 dB. In short... do you even dare to try it?

A Masterpiece in DAC Design

When creating a world-class digital-to-analog converter, you're essentially crafting a masterpiece—one that others may attempt to imitate. It’s not enough to just pick the best components and arrange them cleverly. When you’re building a masterpiece, you have to ask: Can we go beyond the best?

The HD30 was precisely that kind of project. To achieve results once thought impossible, we had to modify the most precise measuring instruments in the world—just to fine-tune our clock crystals and power supplies. We engineered master clocks from scratch and took extreme measures to develop ultra-low-noise power supplies and shielding against external interference.

The Result: Breathtaking Musicality

The result is stunning. The HD30’s musicality reaches a level never heard before. You can not only hear the instruments—you can feel the room they’re played in. Your smile grows wider, the hairs on your arms stand on end, and the music comes alive. You hear the guitarist’s finger brush the string, milliseconds before the note sounds. You hear the singer inhale before beginning a live performance.

No matter your source—Apple AirPlay, CD player, computer, or other devices—the HD30 will deliver every nuance and emotional detail captured in the recording.
