ELAC Alchemy Preamplifier/DAC/Streaming End Point

The ELAC Alchemy DDP-2 is a new, clean-slate design that combines three components in one elegant piece of gear. It gives you the highest-quality digital-to-analog converter, preamp, and digital streamer that ELAC’s design team – led by the legendary designer Peter Madnick of Audio Alchemy and Constellation Audio fame – knows how to make. Then ELAC combined all of this in a single chassis only 1U (1.75 inches) high. The preamplifier offers maximum flexibility, while incorporating DAC and streaming functions to make the DDP-2 the centerpiece of your digital system. The DDP-2 is every bit as advanced as you would expect from a piece of gear bearing the legendary Alchemy name. It boasts dual 32-bit, 768 kHz DACs operating in digitally balanced mode. For the best performance with the digital music that you love, it offers custom-selectable DSP filter profiles, configurable up-sampling to 384 kHz, and selectable resolution enhancement upgrades of 16-bit to 24-bit, and 24-bit to 32-bit.
