CDAC-1000
The Clarus CODA is an ultra-high-performance USB DAC and headphone amplifier with an integrated MQA (Master Quality Authenticated) audio renderer. At the heart of the Clarus CODA is a legendary ESS Professional Series SABRE® DAC audio converter with Hyperstream® II modulation and QUAD DAC™ technology. This latest-generation SABRE® DAC provides extraordinary sound staging and clarity with a superb 120dB SNR and -112dB THD+N for ultimate sound quality and a stable sound field.
Designed for use with smartphones, tablets, and computers, CODA is compatible with Android, iOS, macOS, and Windows (7–10) devices and features a 3.5mm stereo jack, a USB-A connector, two volume buttons, and three selectable roll-off filters. Whether listening to your favorite downloads or streaming from Amazon Music, Apple Music, Qobuz, or Spotify, CODA can deliver higher than CD quality audio. When paired with an MQA core decoder (i.e., streaming with Tidal, Nugs, and Xiami or when used with Audirvana or Roon media servers), the CODA renderer delivers the complete MQA experience, letting you hear what the artist and the music producer heard during the original performance.
