Most companies designed their high-end DACs by following the reference circuit from DAC chip companies (such as ESS Technology). NuPrime takes it a step further with innovations surrounding the commodity chip.
To meet the highest performance requirement of the NuPrime Evolution Series, the power circuit of Evolution DAC has been redesigned from the ground up using C-Core transformers and AC filter, in addition to the DAC circuit. It utilizes one of the world’s highest performing 32-bit audio DACs, the ES9038PRO, and NuPrime PSRC IC chip to not only decode but also provide sampling rate up/down conversion from PCM 44.1kHz to PCM 768kHz and DSD64 to DSD512.
"The NuPrime Evolution DAC came as a surprise to me, it costs less than the power cord a top-class DAC might use but goes toe-to-toe with the best of them.” - Alan Sircom, Hifi+ Review
