Music should move you, not just accompany you. Many systems sound good, but only rarely do they create that special feeling of really being there. This is where the DA 256 makes the difference: it transforms digital music from any source into an experience with depth, naturalness, and presence.

Developed in Norway and built in Germany, the DA 256 stands for precision, reliability, and sonic fidelity. At just 17.3 cm wide, with its clean Nordic elegance, it enhances both full-size stereo systems and compact desktop audio setups. It can be powered via USB, no cable is included.
