Other Notes: 

The PS Audio Stellar Gain Cell DAC is celebrated for its lush, almost analog sound signature and expansive, high-resolution soundstage. Reviewers highlight its musicality, noting a rich, delicate timbre on complex instruments like piano, and superb control over dynamics that preserves emotional impact even at lower listening levels. Its built-in headphone amp delivers lively, realistic performance, making it a versatile centerpiece for both speakers and headphones.

Technically, the Stellar Gain Cell DAC pairs a modern ESS Sabre ES9018K2M DAC with a fully balanced Class A preamplifier. Proprietary Gain Cell technology replaces traditional volume controls to maintain signal purity, while a Digital Lens reclocks incoming signals to reduce jitter. Connectivity includes USB, Coaxial, Optical, and I²S for native DSD playback, all housed in a minimalist, hefty aluminum chassis."
