exaSound’s in–house design delivers world recognized, award winning sonic purity
-
World's highest performance Sabre ES9038PRO DAC chip increases 4 times the internal paralleled DAC channels to bring more presence in the mid-range
- Sophisticated reference voltage sources and master clock power circuits deliver more precise 3D imaging and more natural portrayal of transients
- Refined analogue output stages built with components with superb linearity and enhanced power lines offer lower noise and distortion levels, improves micro dynamics and base reproduction
- Optimized main board topology offers reduced EM interference and reduced channel crosstalk resulting in better detail and resolution
- ZeroJitter™ — a unique true asynchronous USB interface with error correction assures accurate data reception
- ZeroResolutionLoss™ — an exclusive volume control with three–way volume synchronization brings convenience and dynamic range comparable to the best analogue volume controls
- GalvanicInfinity™ — affords complete galvanic isolation for ultimate external noise reduction
- FemtoMaster™ — our quad-clock architecture, with 82 femtosecond master
clock and 3 auxiliary stream-control clocks, minimizes jitter for
maximum timing accuracy, image development and bass extension
- Balanced internal design - yields the lowest analog noise and lowest distortion
e68 is a Roon Tested DAC. It has been profiled and tested by both Roon Labs and exaSound for maximum compatibility with the Roon software and service. Roon identifies exaSound devices and sends them audio optimized for their capabilities. Together, Roon and exaSound deliver the power, flexibility, and performance benefits of digital audio, with the easiest setup and highest reliability available.

Power Supply Options
exaSound DACs are powered by external 12V power supply. The e68 uses 15 internal linear power conditioning stages in cascaded configuration. Every subsystem is powered by dedicated power source. This sophisticated power conditioning makes the e68 very insensitive to the quality of the external power supply.
The e68 DAC is sold with a desktop style switching power supply included. Customers interested in using a premium quality linear power source have the option to order the e68 DAC bundled with a Teddy Pardo power supply.
Teddy12/2 - 12V 2A Power Supply
The
Teddy 12/2 power supply is based on a superior regulator called SuperTeddyReg.
