EOS-DAC

Breakthrough technology from the Absolute and IΩN series: an affordable reference DAC

The Ideon Audio eos DAC, utilizes trickle-down technologies and R&D gained, from our extensive work mostly with our IΩN DAC and our flagship Absolute Epsilon which has set new standards worldwide.

Many of the IΩN DAC’s innovations and designs are found in the IΩN in its own scale. As with all Ideon offerings, the eos DAC is a fully proprietary design, with audio technologies developed in-house.

A bespoke handcrafted product housing an innovative combination of high-performance design features and best-of-breed quality components.

HyperStream, 8-channels architecture with proprietary, cutting-edge analog stage.

• High output impedance at -120 dB SNR, quad current output from DAC.
• Cutting edge analog stage, with symmetrical ultra-low noise power supply – in a unique topology.
• Low-noise power through, more than 10 different separate power regulators in the circuit.
• Direct coupled output with no capacitors in the output stage.
• In-House fully balanced design throughout.

KEY FEATURES

• Cutting edge analog stage, with symmetrical ultra-low noise power supply.
• High output impedance at -120 dB SNR, quad current output from DAC.
• Silicon carbide diodes deployed to minimize  diode-rectification noise.
• Upgradable DAC and USB input engine.
• New in-house developed dedicated software for the DAC chip (same as the Absolute E DAC). The upgradable chip firmware is developed by Ideon Audio in close cooperation with ESS.
• Native support and playback for all DSD and PCM formats/frequency rates.
• Proprietary Triple Distillation USB input: Noise Elimination.
• New audio USB codec  used in our USB input module. A proprietary design, being the most current, state-of-the-art technology. The result; amazing, practically zero jitter, extremely low noise, super-fast processing, and extraordinary, natural sound quality.
• A customized USB Audio 2.0 audio class driver developed for Windows. It’s optimized for low latency and low CPU load. Buffer depths can be adjusted to optimize settings for any given computer. The driver implements a transparent (bit-perfect) playback.
