DSD NATIVE PLAYBACK AT 2.8224 MHZ AND 5.6448 MHZ — The DS-DAC-100m delivers true DSD native playback at both 2.8224 MHz and 5.6448 MHz resolutions, faithfully reproducing high-resolution audio files with the full detail and accuracy of the original source recording.
REAL-TIME DSD CONVERSION FROM MP3, WAV AND PCM SOURCES — AudioGate 3 software converts standard audio files including MP3, WAV, and CD audio to 5.6448 MHz DSD data in real time using the computer's processing power, unlocking hidden detail from familiar recordings across any audio collection.
CIRRUS LOGIC CS4398 DA CONVERTER FOR PROFESSIONAL-GRADE AUDIO — The same CS4398 chip used in Korg's acclaimed MR-1000 professional studio recorder powers the DS-DAC-100m, delivering 105 dB S/N ratio and 0.005% THD+N for reference-quality analog conversion.
ASYNCHRONOUS USB TRANSMISSION FOR MINIMAL JITTER — Data is conveyed via asynchronous USB transmission, independent of the computer's USB clock, eliminating jitter and preserving signal integrity for the cleanest possible audio playback through headphones or a high-end audio system.
USB BUS POWERED WITH DEDICATED WIN/MAC DRIVERS — Drawing power directly from the USB bus at 5V with no external adapter required, the DS-DAC-100m is supported by native KORG drivers for both Windows and Mac, ensuring stable DSD and PCM playback via ASIO, WDM, and Core Audio for producers across the UAE.

At the heart of the DS-DAC-100m is the Cirrus Logic CS4398 DA converter chip — the same component used in Korg's professional MR-1000 studio recorder — delivering a measured S/N ratio of 105 dB and THD+N of 0.005% for reference-quality analog output. Asynchronous USB transmission eliminates clock-dependent jitter, while the USB bus-powered design avoids noise contamination from external power supplies. Native KORG drivers for both Windows and Mac ensure stable and trouble-free DSD and PCM playback via ASIO, WDM, and Core Audio. A 3.5 mm line output and a 3.5 mm headphone output capable of 85 mW per channel at 32 ? provide flexible connectivity for any listening setup across the UAE.
