Product Description for the Black Lion Audio Sparrow DAC (White)

Black Lion Audio proudly offers the Sparrow D/A converter. Designed around the 32 bit capable ESS9012 chip, the Sparrow D/A features wide dynamic range and detailed, musical conversion that's as functional in the project studio as it is in the mastering facility.

The Sparrow D/A features user selectable AES, coax SPDIF, and optical SPDIF for input connectivity. Output connections include both balanced XLR for pro studio, consumer level RCA for home stereo, and a high current Walt Jung-inspired headphone output. Two mute buttons allow for independent control of line or headphone signals. Front panel volume control governs headphone outputs, and line output level is fixed.

The Sparrow D/A converter is available in two platforms: red and white. The red model offers similar performance to our FM192 converter's D/A. The white Sparrow D/A features our most advanced clocking architecture, and is designed to be the counterpart to our white Sparrow mk2 A/D converter.
