Arcam rDAC Sweepstakes

Register to win a Arcam rDAC audiophile-grade Digital to Analog Converter (MSRP $479) we are giving away.

According to Arcam, the rDAC's sleek cast aluminum case, hides the latest digital technology, including the outstanding Wolfson 8741 DAC. With coaxial, optical and USB inputs, the rDAC renders music with stunning accuracy and musicality.

Uses for the rDAC are endless. CD Players, Internet Radios, cable boxes and game stations can be connected via coaxial or optical leads to deliver a dramatic increase in sound quality. PCs and Macs can feed the rDAC via USB using the Asynchronous USB re-clocking circuitry to almost eliminates the jitter and noise associated with music in computer environments.

The results from the highly affordable rDac are thrilling regardless of the digital audio source.

I already have my amp and headphones so it's boiling down to a good dac now. I'm thinking of a hrt music streamer II but this Arcam model would definitely be an improvement over the hrt.

pfrumkin's picture

I would love to hear how it sounds - or, hopefully, doesn't. 

tonehead's picture

Hello All,

Please enter my name for a chance to win this fine D/A.

verndoh's picture

Help! My delicate ears love sweet sounding music but are sadly attached to a girl earning a girl salary (which is to say I can't afford sweet sounding gear). So instead, I must limit my music consumption due to shitty source ear fatigue. I just can't listen from poor speakers and .mp3 files streamed directly from a computer (oh the horror!)

I hope this isn't a US resident only thing. I could definitely use a win.

squonk_ga's picture

My 1990 proceed DAC is still alive and well but for how much longer I do not know. Plus I'm sure a 20 year newer DAC would be a nice upgrade!

pdaddy's picture

Would love to set this up in a 2nd listening room. 

BudgetAudiophile's picture

I am an audiophile from Indy,

Whose preference in quality's not trendy;

Compressed music's whack!

So I'd love a new DAC!

To win one would be so dandy!

I'm using a M2Tech Hiface>Maverick TubeMagic D1 setup from my HTPC.  I've been looking for upgrade paths and would welcome this oppurtunity. Thanks for the chance to do so.

dff's picture

Sure could use one.

Rolli666's picture

Make this poor man one DAC closer to whole.

georgehook's picture

Okay, I created a new account, and hopefully you've entered me into the sweepstakes.  I've had an Arcam product for years, and though it can be cranky at times (like when I have to turn off the juice ... so I leave it on mostly), it's been giving me as good as sound as you can get off a CD.  So I'd like to hear what it does on my Mac.  Thanks Stereophile: I've been enjoying your magazine for years. 

kwm_00@yahoo.com's picture
