Description

The C1.2 Digital to Analog Controller is engineered to push the boundaries of digital-to-analog conversion, offering exceptional performance and versatility for the most discerning audiophiles. At the heart of the C1.2 lies a new MEMS-based, shunt-regulated, and thermally compensated clock, significantly improving clock accuracy and providing highly developed clock-sync and external reference clock options. This precision, combined with a four-fold increase in processing power, allows for refined proprietary CH-PEtER algorithms and the introduction of 32-bit fixed-point processing, ensuring that the C1.2 can handle a vast range of high-resolution digital formats. It supports optical, file replay sources, and PCM data up to 768kHz/32 bit resolution, as well as native DSD and MQA data via the proprietary CH-Link HD interconnection.

The C1.2’s architecture is designed for future-proofing, with modular inputs that accommodate various digital standards, including AES/EBU, S/PDIF, TosLink, Ethernet streaming, and USB. It features a sophisticated analog output stage, with four converter chips per channel in a fully differential, dual-mono topology for exceptional fidelity. The hybrid volume control system can operate across both the analog and digital domains, offering full control over balanced and single-ended analog inputs for true analog/digital integration. This, coupled with adjustable input offsets, balance, output levels, and phase, allows users to fully customize their listening experience.

Additionally, the C1.2 features an intuitive AMOLED display with user-configurable content, brightness, and color options, ensuring that adjustments are easily visible. The CH App provides seamless remote control, offering direct access to every parameter of the system via an Android tablet or smartphone, making the C1.2 one of the most adjustable, configurable, and user-friendly DAC controllers on the market. Whether you're fine-tuning technical settings or adapting to new formats, the C1.2 provides an incredibly adaptable and enjoyable audio experience that places ultimate control at your fingertips.
