The Chord Philosophy: Proprietary Digital Purity
Chord Electronics stands at the absolute pinnacle of digital audio engineering, renowned worldwide for their proprietary DAC technology. Instead of using off-the-shelf conversion chips, Chord utilizes custom-coded Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) to handle digital-to-analog conversion. This technology delivers best-in-class timing accuracy (minimizing jitter) and unparalleled resolution. Every Chord Electronics DAC is designed to provide a startlingly clear, transparent, and accurate sonic window into your digital music.
