The MUSES8820 is optimized for high-end audio equipment, producing the finest sound quality that emulates the live performance of an orchestra in a hall. On the other hand, the MUSES72320 is a 2-channel electronic volume control designed with advanced circuitry and layout for high-end audio applications. It has low noise and distortion characteristics and utilizes a resistance ladder circuit for highly linear volume control of hi-fi audio systems. Together, these components make the EVO DAC-2 an exceptional preamp, capable of producing a high-quality sound that accurately captures the\u003cbr\u003enuances and details of a live performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNuPrime PSRC IC chip provides sample rate up\/down conversion processing, from PCM 44.1kHz to PCM 768kHz and DSD64 to DSD512 (including PCM to\/from DSD).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA proprietary NuPrime implementation capable of decoding DoP formats via coaxial and optical inputs (to support NuPrime source and server devices that are able to output DoP stream in addition to S\/PDIF).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutput Level variable or fixed mode.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnalog outputs channel setting (both outputs can be set to Right, Left, R + L or L + R)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisplay brightness adjustment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNine digital inputs and two analog inputs for complete system flexibility.
