Young DSD® DAC by M2Tech (Italy/New)

Presenting one of the most cohesive sounding Digital-to-Analog converter (DAC) of modern times, The Young DSD® DAC puts cohesiveness in music at its forefront with proprietary well researched methods and intense customer feedback from previous products to produce  a new product which is bewitchingly musical to listen to and elegant to look at.

Compared with the Outgoing Young MK1 (PCM) model the Young DSD® not only adds DSD playback capability but does so in a unique way by implementing Field Gate Programing Oversampling (FGPA) and the D/A integrated circuit (32 bit) is used in a non-conventional mode to allow for 705.6/768kHz internal operation in PCM and 5.6448MHz in DSD.

The Young DSD that produces real time 32 bit 384 PCM signal and DSD 64 and DSD 128 Signal in absolute Purity with breathtaking musicality un-matched by many other DACs which includes  infamous mobile-battery powered DACs with and array of inputs but sadly no musical elements often falling flat after continuous listening, the Young DSD is an investment for many years  to come as it continuously evolves with each listening to deliver excellent tonal decay, crisp timing and resolving bass lines.

2014 The Stereophile Magazine has chosen the Young DSD as one of its (Recommended Component) and accolades are decking all over especially after upgraded power supply 
The Van De Graaf (sold separately)was released not so long ago which takes 
the Young DSD to an entire new level with exceptional low noise and dark background.

If you found your digital music full of grainy artifacts and its timing mismatched and hollow or a feeling of "something missing" in your digital chain - The Young DSD is a must!.

Quotes from the Press





"The new Young DSD DAC brings me one step closer to being able to do that. The fact that I can finally listen late at night at reduced volume levels without suffering from digital attenuation induced paranoia gives me the same warm glow as my favourite bottle of aged Appleton Estates Rum, and that's a profound contribution to my musical enjoyment. The Young DSD is a shoe-in for me. I love the feature set, I trust the brand, the pricing is as always highly competitive and the sound quality is as good as anything I've heard. If you're getting itchy feet, or maybe wondering how much better your current DAC could sound late at night at lower listening levels then it's probably time for you to arrange a demo" - Audiophile Journalist Simon

"The Young DSD was never offensive -- and never boring" - Audiophile Journalist Jeff




"Amazing, New Gear This! - I haven't heard a DAC this musical in a long time, it clearly replacesmy top dollar cd player, and makes a promise of musicality above anything else, after all i am sick and tired of DACs sounding too lean or one which promises but fails " - Audiophile Journalist Nick
