Volumio Preciso Digital to Analog Convertor

The Volumio Preciso Digital to Analog Convertor is an ultra-precise, high-performance DAC designed for audiophiles who demand exceptional sound quality. Equipped with dual mono SABRE DACs, it delivers immaculate channel separation and minimal distortion. Its dual linear power supply architecture independently regulates the analog and digital sections, significantly reducing noise and interference for a pristine audio signal. The inclusion of a high-accuracy MEMS clock ensures impeccable timing and coherence, translating to enhanced clarity and detail in every note. Preciso also features a hardware gain control with fine 0.5 dB increments, allowing seamless integration with power amplifiers without the need for external preamps. Supporting Non-Over Sampling (NOS) mode, it reproduces audio in its rawest form, preserving the original recording’s purity. With dedicated ASIC USB interface technology and carefully selected high-grade components, this DAC represents a refined fusion of precision engineering and musical artistry. When paired with compatible transports such as Rivo+ or Rivo, Preciso forms a fully optimized digital audio chain for discerning listeners seeking uncompromised sound performance.

Preciso is Volumio’s ultimate expression of what a DAC can and should be. It is the result of obsessive engineering, relentless refinement, and a singular goal: to deliver the purest, most precise audio signal without breaking the bank. Preciso is the ultimate expression of everything we've learned at Volumio in crafting award-winning digital audio players.

Named after the Italian word for precise, Preciso lives up to its name through uncompromising engineering and sonic accuracy. It features dual SABRE ESS ES9039Q2M DACs in a true dual mono design, eliminating crosstalk for a wider, deeper, and more natural soundstage. Its hyper-symmetrical architecture ensures precise channel isolation and lifelike imaging, while a THD+n of -122.5 dB reaches the limits of modern audio test equipment for truly transparent sound. Enhancing its versatility, Preciso also includes an integrated Hardware Gain Control, eliminating the need for an external pre-amplifier when paired with a fixed-gain power amp. This gain control allows fine-tuned signal adjustment from 0.0 dB to -99.0 dB in precise 0.5 dB steps, offering both convenience and high-fidelity performance in a single, streamlined solution.

The Volumio Preciso Digital to Analog Convertor features dual ESS ES9039Q2M chips in perfectly mirrored, isolated circuits to ensure absolute channel separation, minimal crosstalk, and optimal DAC signal integrity. Independent power regulation for analog and digital sections guarantees a noise-free output. Precision components, including a MEMS clock, premium OPAMPs, and an ASIC USB interface, deliver stable and pristine performance. Integrated Hardware Gain Control allows fine 0.5 dB adjustments, eliminating the need for external preamps. With dual linear power supplies and full subsystem isolation, Preciso minimizes interference and enhances dynamic range. Supporting Non-Over Sampling mode, it offers pure, unprocessed audio fidelity, embodying refined engineering for discerning audiophiles.
