Lou W

The DA2i / DA2 V3 is the best sounding digital source I have heard in my system - full stop. I am not one of those audiophiles that replace equipment every few months, and I have not heard of other DAC offerings at this price point within my system. I have heard EMM Labs as well as other similarly priced DACs many times at audio shows over the years, and had always lusted over owning a more recent EMM Labs DAC.

Revolutionary Discrete DACs

At the core of the DA2i lies EMM Labs’ proprietary Dual Differential DACs, complemented by a newly designed Class A analog output stage. These meticulously engineered, in-house DACs capture every nuance, dynamic shift, and spatial detail, ensuring that your audio is reproduced with the precision and integrity of the original performance.

Unrivaled DSP and Jitter-Free Performance

Our next-generation MDAT2™ DSP works in harmony with the 16xDSD DACs, processing audio in real-time to deliver unmatched quality. The DA2i also incorporates our enhanced frequency acquisition protocol (MFAST™) and the cutting-edge EMM Labs asynchronous clock (MCLK3™), reducing jitter to industry-defying levels.
