CES 2014

April Music was showing their new DA100 MKII DAC ($1,500 shown up top) that offers PCM playback up to 24/384 and 2x DSD. Inputs include AES/EBU, 2x Coax S/PDIF, and Toslink while outputs include RCA and XLR pairs. The DAC fits in with the other components in the Stello lineup in order of appearance from top to bottom the HP100 MKII preamplifier ($1,300) and the 50wpc S100 MKII amplifier ($1,200). The Stello lineup owes its rugged good looks to designer Neil Fey.
