The Platinum Diamond DAC IV is simply a 'no expense is spared' result to achieve quite possibly the world's finest DAC on the market.

By referring to the standard Platinum DAC IV page and Signature Platinum DAC IV page, you can get a full understand of this feature rich DAC and then understand how MSB have taken it to create the ultimate "Diamond" version.

While hard to believe for the owners of the Signature DAC, a whole new level is achieved with the Platnum Diamond DAC with the advancements including:

• 4 x Diamond DAC modules with 26-bit ladder technology.
• Resistor accuracy with an effective accuracy of .001%
• -146 dB Dynamic Range.
• .0004% THD+N at full level signal.
• Film resistors are completely microphonic resistant (DACs are not sensitive to vibration).
• DSP based pre-decoding for a more analog-like output.
• Lower frequency distortion with scrambled serial stream and triple buffering.
• 32-bit input word.

Included in the base price for the Platinum Diamond DAC IV are:

• The 32x MSB Digital Filter which has been customised for the Diamond DAC modules.
• The Diamond 384 Upsampler.
• The upgraded Diamond Power Base.
• MSB's filter suite.

The result is even further reduced noise and distortion making the performance of the Platinum Diamond DAC IV nothing short of unbelievable and the finest DAC in world.

Optional Upgrades:

Diamond Volume Control

• Passive attenuator for shortest possible signal path with least possible degradation.
• 1dB steps from 9dB to -69dB.
• Completely bypassed when set to 0dB.

Analog Input and HT Bypass

• Convert one set of the RCA analog output to an RCA analog input or convert the spare 2 auxillary ports to XLR analog inputs.
• Any of these inputs can be set to bypass the output stage known as HT Bypass, perfect for combining HT and 2 channel setups using a single box solution.

USB Inputs

• Add one or two USB inputs.
• Buffered and optically coupled isolating computer noise and jitter.
• Simply plug in and play with Windows or Apple computers.

• Requires no iPod or iPhone modifications, just plug in and play.
• Charges iPod/iPhone while plugged in.
• Uses the iPods/iPhone digital output as a bit perfect digital transport. 
• Integrated iPod/iPhone control built into the DAC IV and it's remote. Play, pause and skip tracks back and forth.
• Upsamples up to 384kHz and 32 bits.

RS232 Interface

• Control the Platinum Signature DAC IV or even the volume from a remote system.
