Kompakt

Now sold out
This was using a  Analogue Devices R2R AD1862 multibit DAC chip. This was a very well rated chip & is still very popoular today. It is operating in oversampling mode using a premium Burr Brown DF1706 digital filter chip.
The front panel switches are for 4x/8x oversampling & slow/fast filter setting.
The sound is different to the AKM Chip used in the original Kompakt.
Please email  me for more info about this.
It is very similar to the NOS version but has a slightly more refined sound due to the digital filter.
