NEW ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Fully upgrade in alignment, components over the original Paradisea. NEW Paradisea follows the original  Acrylic case construction. Acrylic material has adequate resonant frequency which makes the acrylic to be a good audio material of building cases. ? All original Paradisea were sold out and will not be available any more. New Paradisea is the same as Paradisea+ but less USB section. If you don't need USB input, this is exact the one you need, It has three digital coaxial input: Toslink, RCA and BNC.  All digital inputs  can be individually selected by toggle switch located in rear panel. It uses reliable CS8414 digital receiver chip as before so, acceptable digital input is spdif format in 44.1Khz, 48Khz and 96Khz as indicated in datasheet of CS8414. This is a 16bits conventional multi-bit DAC (TDA1545A),  not delta-sigma types of multi-bit.  It provides much more real and natural sound. This is a non-oversampling, digital-filter-less DAC. It gives the simple yet direct and real as well as pure digital process.  You will fell the sound is much more analog and less digital.      ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Mhdt Labs special OEM Film and Foil capacitors ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? To maintain the acrylic plates, you can gently rub acrylic plate by tissue with 95% alcohol as detergent. It will remove most stains, oil, finger prints, dirt and even small scratches. The DAC will ship out in voltage setting according to your country and will place a voltage tag beneath the DAC's bottom plate. The input voltage is also switchable from internal jump pins.  Just open the top cover plate and find the select pins beside the AC socket and follows the descriptions on PCB. All Mhdt Labs' products offer same function however some of them, the select pins is located beside the power switch.  ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
