Insight DAC
The Insight DAC is designed using the circuit simulation and math capability we have been developing for the past 15 years. Thousands of hours of original advanced math and circuit analysis programing went into modeling the complete circuit from digital input to audio output. Our results show, more clearly than ever before, every nuance of the circuit performance.
This allowed us to understand all significant (and not otherwise predictable) non-linearities, and then model improvements into the circuit. After multiple iterations of improvement, testing, modeling, and analyzing, we are convinced the circuit is as perfect as possible. Thus was born the Insight DAC, easily the best piece of solid-state audio equipment we have ever designed, and likely the best at any price from any audio manufacturer.
It provides a source for your audio system so pure and real that it makes any system all new again and gives you music more lifelike than you ever thought possible. Musicality and inner detail are breathtaking. You must experience the performance—intelligibility, space, definition, absence of fatigue, and purity of voices—to believe this kind of music from digital. Gone are the grainy and hard artefacts that have come to be associated with digital audio. What remains is an utterly dynamic, liquid, and pristine look into the music.

Ultra DAC
The Ultra DAC – the breathtaking combination of the AVA technically optimized parallel processing digital-to-analog converter circuitry with the ultra-musicality and dynamics of our new Ultra hybrid analog filter circuitry.
We have taken all the research that went into our marvelous Insight DAC and used our patented Ultra Hybrid Circuits vacuum tube circuits for the audio output instead of solid state – resulting in even more transparency, dynamics, and musicality. To achieve this no-compromise design, we started with converter and filter chips that can output a completely symmetrical waveform. This top-to-bottom and left-to-right symmetry is necessary to correctly recover all of the digital data. A multibit oversampling design was used because conventional 1-bit processors are still too slow to accurately convert high frequency information. Our uniquely pure digital design is then followed by our patented Transcendence vacuum tube hybrid current buffered ultra-clean audio filter/amplifiers to get you the music first class all the way.
New and improved for 2006 is an active regulated power supply board with six seperate high speed, high current active analog regulators, seperate for each section of the the hybrid tube filter section and digital section. This provides substantial gains in musicality, imaging, bass power, and freedom from grain. Upgrades to the hybrid filter board are included to accomodate the new power supply. The new larger chassis has allowed us to provide even better isolation between the power supply and the active circuits for quieter and purer operation yet.
