INTRODUCTION
CONGRATULATIONS
You’ve just become the proud owner of the world’s finest digital to analog converter.
When people come up to compliment you on your sound, you can smile knowingly ... and hopefully you’ll tell them a little
about us!
This digital to analog converter system has been designed, tested, improved and again & again tested and refined to
deliver maximum musical performance of any style, in any situation. Despite of its professional motivation, this digital to
analog converter system is very easy to install and to operate.
INTEGRATED SYSTEM
The idea behind this DA converter is to implement a CD & DVD-compatible high-precision sign magnitude digital to analog conversion and a powerful high-speed analog post-processor into a single unit.
In order to deliver the highest possible audio reproduction quality - and this is our single goal - the ultra-clean power-supply of your ALTMANN DA is placed in a seperate housing.
Your ALTMANN DA automatically locks to any sampling frequency between 32 and 96 kHz and even above, no matter
if your input signal has 16, 18, 20 or 24 bits.
The ALTMANN DA has an integrated 8-times oversampling digital filter and the finest colinear converters, together easily
featuring a sample ouput frequency of 768kHz with true 24bit resolution.
YOUR SPECIFIC APPLICATION
Since professional and high-end audio applications are complex and demanding systems, ALTMANN offers different DA
converter models in order to promote a perfect design integration.
Please understand, that all of our DA converter models deliver unsurpassed audio performance.
All ALTMANN DA converter have XLR and Cinch audio outputs and an external power supply.
The ALTMANN DA is the base model and features 1 Toslink and 1 Cinch digital input.
The ALTMANN DA-M features 2 Toslink, 2 Cinch, 1 ST optical, 1 XLR and 1 BNC digital inputs, that are
switchable on the front panel.
The ALTMANN DA-R features a high-grade volume control and can directly be connected to a power amplifier.
Since we do not believe in any external preamplifier being able to handle our fine signal losslessly, the
ALTMANN DA-R was designed to easily satisfy even extremely demanding listeners.
The ALTMANN DA-MR is the - top of the line - machine integrating all features in a single product.
All ALTMANN DA converter models can be ordered with selected components: DA-S, DA-MS, DA-RS, DA-MRS.

WARNING
The ALTMANN DA is able to produce significant levels of output energy. In order to save your equipment
-and your ears - from blowing up, always start with zero volume, especially when playing
unknown program material!
Please keep in mind, that if there are other people in your room, they may not be used to audition at high
volume levels, or may never have heard uncompromised musical reproduction in their life before. If you
are not alone, please ask your fellow listeners if they feel comfortable with your preferred volume level.
Always remember: The most valuable and most sensitive part of your audio equipment are your ears.
