The original EMM Labs DAC2X set a new benchmark. This revised EMM Labs DAC2X V2 takes performance even further! Versus the old version, this newer V2 brings enhanced format support, improved digital processing, better input architecture, and tangible sonic improvements. For many DAC2X owners, the V2 was considered well worth the upgrade effort. In terms of maximizing resolution, getting the most out of DSD / DXD, lowering noise floor, and improving overall musicality while sounding less analytical, the V2 is a significant step up.
Core Technologies
• MDAT2™ DSP: Latest generation Meitner Digital Audio Translator, up-converts all incoming audio to DSD512 (8xDSD).
• MFAST™ jitter removal: High-speed asynchronous system that strips jitter completely (not just attenuates like PLLs).
• MCLK™ master clock: Proprietary clocking system for ultra-stable timing.
• Discrete Dual Differential D-to-A converters: Hand-built, proprietary design by Ed Meitner, optimized for DSD512 playback.
Connectivity & Format Support
• Multiple digital inputs including USB Audio with galvanic isolation.
• PCM support: up to 24-bit/192kHz on all inputs.
• DSD support: DSD via DoP, plus DSD128 (2xDSD) and DXD (352/384kHz) over USB.
• Galvanic isolation on USB - higher clarity and silent background.
Performance Highlights
• Upsampling to DSD512/8xDSD (8× SACD rate).
• Instant data stream acquisition thanks to MFAST™.
Listening Experience
• Described as natural, realistic, liquid, and effortless.
• Creates a sense of immersion where the system itself “vanishes” and only the music remains.
• Designed to remind audiophiles why they fell in love with high-fidelity playback.
