Been on a test. New condition and 1-year warranty.

NuPrime's latest preamplifier/DAC that replaces the previous reference preamplifier REF-20. The DAC is packed with technology and offers the absolute latest and greatest from NuPrime.

Evolution ONE and DAC tested in Hifi&Musik 11/21

NuPrime Evolution One is ranked 10/10 in the Home Theater Magazine (2020 #9)

Ultra Clean Power Circuit

AC Filter

To get the cleanest and most stable power to the circuitry, no expense was spared when designing the power supply section of the Evolution DAC. The AC inlet goes right to a filter, which reduces the AC high frequency line noise by at least 20dB in the 100kHz to 5MHz region.

C-Core Transformer and Large Capacitor Bank

The filtered AC power is then fed to the AC power supply that utilizes C-Core transformers which have less stray flux than conventional ring type transformers. The stainless steel enclosures for the power supply provide shielding to minimize the transformer noise interference affecting other sensitive circuitry.
A large capacitor bank (around 70,000uF) using specialized capacitors, supplies ample and stable power to the analog and digital circuitry.

Discrete Transistors

Taking things further, the analog section benefits from a NuPrime proprietary power circuitry crafted from discrete components. This circuitry provides further power stabilization and exhibits a high PSRR. Hence, the analog section is fed with the cleanest and most stable power we've put into any product. This translates to a superlative gain in audio performance that defines the Evolution series.

ES9038PRO DAC Chip

The world's highest performance 32-bit Stereo DAC (ES9038PRO). State-of-the-art DAC with warmer sonic characteristics.

Features

  • NuPrime PSRC IC chip provides sample rate up/down conversion processing, from PCM 44.1kHz to PCM 768kHz and DSD64 to DSD512 (including PCM to/from DSD).
  • A proprietary NuPrime implementation capable of decoding DoP formats via coaxial and optical inputs (to support NuPrime source and server devices that are able to output DoP stream in addition to S/PDIF).
  • Seven digital filters.
  • Output Level variable or fixed mode.
  • Analog output phase change.
  • Analog output channel setting (both outputs can be set to Right, Left, R + L or L + R).
  • Display brightness adjustment.
  • Seven digital inputs for complete system flexibility. Full microprocessor control with memory retention for all inputs.
  • Custom designed non-linear volume curve.
  • USB Asynchronous transfer mode.
  • USB Supports DSD native playback by ASIO and DoP method. DSD is decoded natively with the same sample rate as the input source.
  • USB Supports native MQA decode.
  • Individually adjustable volume on each input for precise level matching of sources.
  • Exclusive driver software for Windows, standard driver software for Mac.
  • NuPrime vibration-free isolation feet.
  • Available in black or silver anodized aluminum finish.

MQA and Sample Rate Converter (SRC)

The Sampling Rate Converter is not active when the input is MQA, which is how it should work. You can experiment by using software unfolding and decoding on the PC Tidal application so that the Evo DAC receives a PCM stream rather than an MQA stream. With a PCM stream, you will then be able to use the SRC and perform upsampling. You can then compare the sound between the MQA stream and the upsampled PCM stream.

Digital

  • USB: Type B 2.0 Hi-Speed, data stream up to 384KHz/24Bit and DSD 256
  • IIS/DSD: Supports PCM 768KHz/32Bit and DSD 512 data streams
  • COAXIAL: Supports PCM 44.1KHz ~ 768KHz/32Bit and DSD DOP 64,128 and 256
  • OPTICAL: Supports PCM 44.1KHz ~ 192KHz/32Bit and DSD DOP 64
  • AES/EBU: Supports PCM 44.1KHz ~ 192KHz/32Bit and DSD DOP 64

Analog

  • Analog Output Connectors:
    • 2 XLR balanced outputs: Fix mode 8Vrms or 4Vrms (user selectable). If set to variable output, the maximum output is 8Vrms.
    • 2 RCA unbalanced outputs: Fix mode 4Vrms or 2Vrms (user selectable). If set to variable output, the maximum output is 4Vrms.
  • Output Impedance: < 50 Ohm
  • Frequency response: 20 Hz – 20 KHz / ±0.3 dB. SNR: > 110 dB
  • THD+N: < 0.0003%
  • 0 dB=2 Vrms with Volume=87; +6 dB=4 Vrms with Volume=99

General

  • USB Audio Firmware: upgradable via USB DFU tool
  • Power Supply: AC voltage selector switch at the bottom of the unit, 115V or 230V
  • Aluminum remote control
  • Dimensions [W x H x D]: 430mm x 55mm x 315mm
  • Weight: 5.2Kg
  • Power consumption: 13.5W (0.9W Standby)

Note that the I2S output is for connecting to other NuPrime products and may not work with other devices.

Buy&Try applies to the entire Aune, Auralic, Quadral, Sbooster & Taga range.

Buy & try gives you as a customer the opportunity to try out the product in your own home environment, instead of standing in a stressful store and trying to form an opinion. Rooms behave very differently and affect the sound in different ways and we give you the opportunity to demo the product for a full 30 days, in your own home.

 

If for some reason you feel dissatisfied, just contact us and we will help you with the return shipping, you can also take advantage of our shipping agreements with lower prices. Costs that will be charged to the customer are the shipping to the customer and the return shipping to us at MYC HiFi. For return approval, the item must be returned in new condition and in the original packaging.

 

Regarding speakers, be aware that speakers may need a long recording time to come into their own. After a couple of hours you can usually get a taste of what to expect, but a speaker deserves 100h+ before serious listening. The speakers we sell with ribbon tweeters need several hundred hours before they start to sing. So feel free to leave the speakers on around the clock so you can quickly accumulate hours.

 

If you have any questions or concerns, do not hesitate to contact us.

 

 

  • Buy & Try applies to goods that are normally kept in stock and not to order goods, unless otherwise agreed.

We provide at least a 2-year warranty on all products, some products have up to a 5-year warranty. With this, you avoid expensive insurances and can feel safe as a customer. In case of problems during the warranty period, contact us and we will solve it quickly and smoothly.


Aune: 2 years

Other products see the manufacturer's warranty.


ATTENTION!

The 2-year warranty does not apply to headphones, demo/service copies or consumables, in these cases the manufacturer's warranty applies. On demo and service copies, the warranty period is stated on the product page.

Lamp warranty

If the lamp for your projector breaks during the first 12 months, or the first 1000 hours (whichever comes first), you will receive a new lamp free of charge. If the manufacturer has a more generous warranty, it applies.
