The Vincent DAC-700 uses an upgraded input stage implemented on a chip from Cirrus Logic Inc. and a new USB interface. The new product's switching arsenal includes two coaxial and two optical S/PDIF interfaces, an AES/EBU digital balanced input, and a USB-B port for connecting to a computer. For connection to the amplifier, balanced XLR connectors and unbalanced RCA analog outputs are provided.
The main innovation is the replacement of the DAC chip with the BurrBrown PCM1796, which was used in the DAC-1, with the ESS Sabre ES9038. This made it possible to process digital PCM streams with a resolution up to 32 bits/384 kHz and DSD up to DSD256.
