Dive into a world of sonic precision with the Crane Song Solaris, an elite digital-to-analog converter that stands as the pinnacle of modern audio conversion technology. Crafted meticulously by Dave Hill, this fifth-generation marvel is a testament to Crane Song’s legacy of innovation and excellence. Designed around a formidable 32-bit converter and 32-bit ASRC, the Solaris promises crystal-clear, transparent conversion, supporting sample rates up to 192kHz and boasting jitter-reduction upsampling to 211kHz.

The Solaris doesn’t just excel in conversion; it’s engineered for versatility and ease of use. Inputs for AES, S/PDIF, TOSlink, and USB ensure compatibility with a broad range of setups. The main stereo output features discrete amplifiers and a stepped attenuator for precise control, while a secondary balanced output delivers a fixed maximum level of 18dBu. A high-quality headphone amplifier, equipped with its own stepped attenuator, promises immaculate audio reproduction for personal monitoring.

Thoughtfully designed, the Solaris includes a front-panel LCD display, offering clear insight into source, gain, sample rate, and L/R level meters. A mute switch enhances operational safety by silencing the main outputs upon power-up, preventing unwanted noise.
