Our new DAC-V1 and its matching power amplifier, the NAP 100, have been chosen amongst the top ten ‘most exciting’ products launched at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. The experts from What Hi-Fi? Sound & Vision have scoured the hundreds of rooms of the show in the Venetian Hotel to present the best audio products launched this year to its readers.

The DAC-V1 and NAP 100 were singled out for “striving to bring a taste of authentic hi-fi to desktop, computer-based audio.” This recognition comes on top of the new UnitiLite (launched late last year) being showcased, among other standout products in their respective categories, as a CES ‘Innovations’ honouree.

The DAC-V1 is the perfect solution to get brilliant sound quality from your computer. Combined with the NAP 100 power amplifier it will deliver a superb listening experience from your audio files. It also houses a high quality, single ended class A headphone amplifier. So you can plug headphones directly into the front panel and avoid the need for a power amp and speakers altogether if you wish.

“Overall here’s a great sounding and affordable system that’s been pitched deftly between the hardcore hi-fi world and the great unwashed who just like music!”

“This is unquestionably the thinking person’s universal hi-fi source and control system, offering unprecedented performance combined with great versatility.”
