Presentation

Totaldac became famous for its DACs (R2R with discrete resistors) with their incredibly natural and realistic sound. The digital range has since expanded to include a streamer, a CD transport and an Ethernet switch.
A range of analog electronics has also been developed, including a preamp (driver) and an amplifier.
Speakers are also available, including the latest Balloon speaker, the only full bandwidth, high efficiency, passive, spherical source point.
All these products, and the complete systems they can form, are of the same high standard when it comes to achieving the most natural and realistic sound. Totaldac can also advise you on acoustic treatment or video to enhance streaming concerts, or on any other audio topic.

That's why Totaldac's slogan became "total digital to auditorium converter".

This allows you to listen to the complete system at Totaldac's headquarter, find your ideal listening experience, start, for example, with the DAC, and then whenever you want to further improve your system, simply replace another component with a Totaldac, and thus get closer to that ideal you have in mind, without making mistakes or going back and forth.
No need to sell your Totaldac equipment to upgrade within the range, Totaldac can upgrade your equipment, and you pay practically only the difference between the old and new equipment.

Totaldac also helps you finance your trip to its premises near Rennes by offering a €2,500 discount to visitors who then purchase at least €10,000 worth of equipment (and who do not have a reseller in their country).

All Totaldac products are also designed and manufactured in France.
