In building the DSP-Z16V and the other 5th Generation Zapco digital processors, we used the very best components we could find for a production product. But knowing that there would be high-end users out there with their personal favorite ADCs or DACs, we programmed the DSP chips to accept any number of different top-end components to provide the more fanatic audiophiles the abilityto easily customize the units to their personal tastes.

​

There are two DAC upgrade choices for the HDSP processors. The DAC KIT A14V upgrades the long awaited ES9038PRO DAC. For the ultimate in sound stage reproduction and sonic purity the ES9038PRO has no equal. It has been described as night and day by the sound quality competitors what have used it. If the absolute finest that technology can provide is your goal, this is the DAC you want.
