Neumann Merging DA8 8-channel D/A card Horus/Hapi
Estimated delivery in Italy between 17 and 19 November
8-channel D/A conversion card for Merging Horus and Hapi with ESS ES9028PRO chip, 127 dB(A) dynamic range and DB-25 outputs.
The DA8 is the eight-channel analog output card for Merging Horus and Hapi network converters. It is a second generation of the module, based on the ESS ES9028PRO D/A converter and revised circuitry to minimize signal degradation, thus offering reference-quality outputs for monitoring, mastering, and signal distribution.
The eight balanced line outputs are available on a DB-25 connector with standard AES59 pinout (analog Tascam), easily connectable to patchbays, consoles, or speakers via dedicated Merging multi-core cables. The maximum output level reaches +25 dBu at 0 dBFS and the level trims are digitally controlled in 0.5 dB steps, facilitating alignment procedures in multichannel systems.
The measured performance is top-tier: typical dynamic range of 127 dB A-weighted, THD+N below -113 dB at 1 kHz and 0 dBFS, crosstalk between channels of -140 dB at 1 kHz and linear frequency response from 0 Hz to 20 kHz within +0/-0.3 dB at 48 kHz. The conversion latency is 9 or 35 samples depending on the selected filter (slow or sharp roll-off).
The design includes a local oscillator and an auto-mute circuit that prevents unwanted noise during power-on and power-off. The card operates up to 192 kHz with 24-bit resolution.
The DA8 is recommended for those who need to expand Horus or Hapi with additional analog outputs, for example to power a surround or immersive listening system, or to send signals to outboard gear and recorders.
