TOTALDAC is an innovating hifi DAC (digital to analog converter) which uses only components selected by listening tests. Specific digital technologies have been developed and some selected components are very rarely used on other high DAC because on too costly.
A DAC with an integrated digital crossover is also offered. It allows to separate bass, midrange and treble.
The REFERENCE-D1 is the high end TOTALDAC product. It includes a DAC, a volume control, a USB input and an active crossover in option:

Extract "The degree to which it bested what I knew (including APL Hifi, Audio Aero, dCS, EMM Labs, Esoteric, Weiss, Meitner and Zanden) was unexpected"

Compared to an active crossover BSS FDS-366 or FDS-388 or Behringer DCX2496, the project TOTALDAC has been created specifically for no-compromise hifi sytems and the multi-channel volume control has been integrated in the system. The TOTALDAC board is optimised to be able to listen to a digital source (CD, computer...) with only one digital to analog conversion, already so difficult to make properly, and without synchronous or asynchronous sampling frequency conversion. Instead of converting any source to 96KHz/24bit the TOTALDAC board recalculate the delay length and the filter coefficients to adapt itself to the source.
