The DAC3 is the perfect match for the new Diablo 333 integrated amplifier, adding 5 top notch digital inputs to the Diablo 333 existing four analog inputs.
With the DAC3 module build in, the Diablo 333 display informs you about the chosen digital input Sampling frequency, PCM/DSD format and digital filter setting.

DAC3 is an optional internal DAC module for the Diablo 333. Its USB, AES/EBU, coaxial S/PDIF and optical inputs do not imply an HDMI ARC connection or a built-in streaming service. Check your sources before choosing it.
If you already own an external DAC you enjoy, compare retaining it with adding DAC3 as part of the complete system. Our McIntosh versus Gryphon: MA12000 or Diablo 333? sets out the difference between this modular approach and the MA12000’s included digital facilities.
