General description<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
Discover the versatility of the C.E.C. DA3N<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
The C.E.C. DA3N is a digital-to-analog converter that takes your music collection to the next level. With several digital inputs, including coaxial RCA, TOSLINK, AES\/EBU and USB, you easily connect a variety of sources. The Super Link connection, consisting of four BNC connectors, ensures optimal transmission between the DA3N and compatible C.E.C. loops such as the TL3N. <\/span><\/div>\n
On the back you’ll find four analog outputs: two stereo outputs with both fixed and adjustable signal levels, available in balanced (XLR) and unbalanced (RCA) formats. This provides the flexibility to connect the DA3N directly to an amplifier or active speakers. <\/span><\/div>\n
Inside houses the ES9008 Sabre Reference DAC chip, known for its professional audio performance. This chip contributes to detailed and dynamic music reproduction. <\/span><\/div>\n

Background information<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
The C.E.C. DA3N is designed with a focus on natural, musical reproduction and utilizes high-quality discrete components in a fully balanced circuit design. The Japanese manufacturer combines its traditional belt-drive technology with modern digital conversion. The DA3N is constructed with carefully selected components, short signal paths, and a solid aluminum chassis for optimal shielding and vibration damping. The internal wiring is symmetrical and meticulously laid out for maximum transparency. Development and assembly take place in Japan. <\/span><\/div>\n
Brand history<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
C.E.C. (Chuo Denki Co., Ltd.) was founded in 1954 in Tokyo, Japan. The company began producing phonographs, followed by the development of electric record players. In 1991, C.E.C. introduced its first belt-drive CD player, the TL1. This player used a drive system that combined elements of conventional analog turntables with digital CD technology. The manufacturer also developed its own digital interface, the Superlink digital link. C.E.C. produces devices in-house, including CD drives, DA converters and amplifiers. Production and assembly take place in Japan, with parts manufactured in-house or specifically selected. The company uses a modular design approach in which components are interchangeable within certain product lines. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
