General : The Nagra Classic DAC is a Swiss precision instrument with a very refined sound character.

Technology : The Nagra Classic DAC uses most of the technology also employed in the Nagra HD DAC. The digital input and processing boards are identical to the Nagra HD. The analog output stage is different. The DA conversion comes from a joint venture with AK Design, and operates at a very high internal resolution of DSD 2x. The sampling frequency is 5.6MHz and the internal operation is precisely 72Bit. Steep filters are thus avoided. The output stage is in full class A and uses 9 precision FETs for this purpose. The USB input is designed for DXD and DSD2 signals. The output stage is so good it is comparable to that of the Nagra HD DAC but lacks volume control or headphone output. The internal power supply is also excellent in quality. No fewer than 25 different power supplies are used internally. Each component has its own dedicated power supply. The Nagra Classic DAC is a compact, ultra-high-quality unit with outstanding sound quality.

Listening : Once connected, it immediately becomes apparent how good this Nagra Classic DAC is. The Nagra Classic DAC plays very openly, crystal clear and precise. The small and very fine details immediately come to the fore. You hear deep into the recording venue and no detail escapes you. Yet with this Nagra Classic DAC, the emphasis is not on the detail, but on the whole. Some very detailed DA converters sound glassy and mechanical, as if the level of detail is the most important thing in music, but that is not the case. It is about the overall experience; the unit must therefore convey music, and the Nagra Classic DAC does this very convincingly. The fantastic build quality of the power supplies and the class A output stage are undoubtedly responsible for this. It is absolutely wonderful to listen to the Nagra Classic DAC. The combination with the Nagra Classic Integrated is sublime, but even connected to other preamplifiers, the musical quality remains completely intact. Excellent. This Nagra Classic DAC is in very good condition and is complete with the original packaging.
