Sugden Masterclass DAC-4
DAC
What it is
Handmade in Yorkshire (Sugden), Class A NOS DAC, RCA fixed output. DOES NOT FIT THE 24/192 BRANCH: its USB tops out at 16/44.1 and the whole unit maxes at 24/96 (coax), so it cannot carry the Mac-USB hi-res path. A deliberately anti-hi-res NOS design — fine for CD/24-96 but disqualified for protecting 24/192. Catalogued for completeness / honest comparison.
