A hallmark of high-end DAC design, the DAC section uses two high-precision master clocks, one for 44.1 kHz and one for 48 kHz families. Capitalising on QUAD’s rich history in analogue and digital audio solutions, this DAC chip implementation ensures astonishingly-low jitter levels with improved transparency and imaging for faithful reproduction of digital source material – source materials that can extend into PCM up to 768 kHz and DSD512, allowing for lifelike detail across a wide range of audio formats. Utilising the full strengths of the ES 9038 Pro, the PLATINA INTEGRATED also offers listeners the ability to upsample lower-resolution PCM streams to either 352.8kHz or 384kHz, unlocking greater detail and smoothness from compressed or legacy recordings. A choice of five user-selectable DAC reconstruction filter settings, allows subtle yet effective tailoring of the sound character to suit both the source material and listener preference. This level of fine-tuning is particularly valuable when navigating the variable quality often encountered across digital formats and streaming platforms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0806\/9500\/1374\/files\/Platina_Black_Lifestyle_4_c8336237-03d5-4e40-9ec6-da663fd427c1.webp?v=1764237463\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eROON TESTED\u003cbr\u003eThe PLATINA INTEGRATED is also Roon Tested, thus opening up to the world of Roon.\u003cbr\u003eFundamental goal is to provide a consistently stellar user experience.
