Sonnet Pasithea

Neutral but natural flagship DAC

Because of the enormously energy-efficient electronics, there was room to add even more high-end technology within the dimensions of our standard enclosure. 8 DAC modules were used to take various specifications to greater heights. Better linearity, lower distortion even at extremely low levels, and a noise floor 10 dB lower than the Morpheus. The 8x SDA-3 DAC modules developed for this design collectively have a very low output impedance so that any load can be driven. Flexibility has also been increased and inputs such as I2S and USB are standard without having to swap modules.

To drive very sensitive amplifiers, it is possible to attenuate the signal by 10dB from the menu, in addition to the physical attenuator which can realise a 10 dB attenuation as well. And all this with an extremely low output impedance (XLR output) so that any amplifier with whatever sensitivity can be driven.

Elise Audio - Sonnet Pasithea

Excellent service including a thorough blind demonstration which enabled me to fully evaluate a choice of DACs to find the right one for me.

Nothing was too much trouble and I am delighted with my purchase.
