PMG Signature 512 DAC

Product code: PMGSDAC
Digital audio was born in 1982 with the launch of the first CD player, and PS Audio didn’t miss a beat—they introduced the world’s first high-performance standalone D-to-A converter and never looked back. Now, after decades of innovation, they unveil the PMG Signature 512 DAC. At its core is the PureStream DSD512 engine, converting any form of digital audio into a pure 8X DSD stream—no PCM, no decimation, no compromise. That stream feeds their SpectraWave 64-Tap Sequencer, lowering noise and distortion while perfectly time-aligning the signal. From there, it flows into a state-of-the-art, direct-coupled analog output stage. The result is breathtaking—fluid, natural, and as analog as it gets. With a built-in high-end streamer for seamless access to your music, the 512 is their best DAC ever. For the first time in PS Audio’s history, their founder’s name graces a DAC. Yes, it’s that good. And this time, it’s personal.
