Introduction
 
The Rega DAC-R is a 16/20/24-bit at 32kHz to 192kHz digital to analogue 
converter. Incorporating an enhanced version of the Rega designed circuit,
the DAC-R offers the highest possible resolution over all inputs including 
fully asynchronous USB with the addition of remote functionality.
 
Developed to be simple to set up and use, the Rega DAC-R is designed 
to optimise performance from any two channel PCM digital audio source. 
 
With the PC now widely accepted as a credible medium for storing and 
streaming music,the use of high quality lossless files such as WAV, FLAC 
and ALAC offer performance through the DAC-R equal to and in some 
cases better than Red Book CD. Great care has been taken to remove 
noise generated by the PC and other input sources. (During development 
this was identified as a major drawback with many DAC’s on the market 
today).
 
The DAC-R is housed in a custom aluminium and steel case and boasts 
a pair of Wolfson DAC IC’s, three user selectable digital filters and one 
isolated asynchronous USB, two isolated Co-axial inputs & two Toslink 
SPDIF inputs.
 
The DAC-R has been designed and engineered to integrate perfectly into 
any system and achieve the highest performance in its class. We hope 
you enjoy this Rega product for many years to come.
