However the reference quality of analog processing and its musical sound is what distinguishes this converter from others.

DAC (digital-to-analog converter)

A high-quality DAC chip set (Sabre 9028PRO), a specially redesigned analog section and an ultra-precise clock make the converter sound musical and true to the original. Redesigned analog section ensures even better separation of channels and lower noise level.

Mytek Brooklyn DAC provides absolutely faithful sound processing. It is transparent but also very musical. The listener can be sure that he can hear exactly what the artist and the music producer heard during the performance in the recording studio. Complementary to this fidelity of sound is the function of hardware decoding of the MQA format! Popular software such as JRiver, Audirvana, Foobar2000 allows you to use all the advanced features available in the device.

Classic Audio I/O interface

Mytek Brooklyn DAC is also a classic, compact audio interface offering eight input channels and two DAC output channels with ultra-precise processing quality. A set of digital connectors enables connection of any AD converter, microphone preamp, synthesizer and any other device equipped with AES, S/PDIF or TOSLINK connectors. Maximum of four such devices can be connected and all digital channels are visible in the DAC recording software simultaneously. Quick drivers (ASIO) ensure comfortable work in complex projects, where virtual instruments and effects (AAX, VSTi, VST, AU) are used. The device is compatible with any audio recording software. Regardless if it is Pro Tools, Cubase, Samplitude, Studio One or Ableton Live, the Brooklyn DAC ensures comfortable work on each of them.

Mytek Brooklyn DAC is a converter designed for people involved in mastering, mixing “in-the-box” and all those who do not need many I/O channels, but appreciate the reference digital-analogue processing.

During the recording, making mixes or at the mastering stage, absolute precision of the monitored signal is necessary. Mytek Brooklyn DAC due to its faithful sound is the ideal solution for studios looking for a stereo converter to be connected between the studio system (DAW / mixer) and the final monitoring/listening system.

From the music producer’s point of view the reference quality DA conversion is an essential element of successful music production. If the mix contains errors, Mytek Brooklyn DAC will reveal them immediately. It is very detailed in all frequency bands and beautifully draws all the elements of the recording in a perfectly reproduced musical space.
