PRODUCTS : ELECTRONICS : Elise DAC
![](elise.jpg)
The Elise is one of the most natural sounding digital to analogue converters available on the current market. The vacuum tube output stage allows for greater dynamics, exceptional detail and resolution but above all, it has 'real life' timing and pace.
It is also compatible with both DVD/DVD-A formats.
The Elise LT steps up by incorporating a new transformer coupled output stage and all Lundahl™ transformers including the power, choke and digital pulse output.
Benefits?
Improved micro dynamics and resolution on frequency extremes give you a truly life-like musical experience.
