The D50 handles a wide range of digital sources. AES/EBU, BNC and RCA coaxial, optical, and USB inputs all support up to 24/192 and DSD64 via DoP. MQA decoding runs at 8x on every input.
A network input adds streaming: AirPlay, Spotify Connect, Roon Ready, and UPnP are built in. Analog outputs are balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA.
The D50 is Hegel's only standalone DAC, sitting between the streaming amplifiers above and the source components below.
