DDDAC (Sowter) Output Transformer
Available on backorder
Description
If you really want something extraordinary good as an output option in stead of a couple capacitor
Made on my personal specifications by Brian Sowter
Balanced input to balanced or single ended output / Total DDDAC DAC output gain is 12dB or 6dB (optional)
Important:
Best to be used with 4 Decks to achieve low-Freq cut-off of 14Hz
(2 Decks will be 28Hz, 3 Decks 19Hz)
For stereo, you need 2 of course đ
Already in the very early days of the DDDAC I wanted to be able to use the PCM1794 to it full content in Mono Mode by means of an OPT. This would give the following benefits:
- Effectively doubling the number of DACs (like doubling the number of Decks in single ended mode
- Lowering THD, as the second harmonic will be almost cancelled out (Like a balanced power amplifier)
- Isolating the DAC from the next stage amplifier
- Offering a possibility to use XLR balanced outputs
- Having a possibility to add gain or make a TVC (Volume control) version out of it. E-Mail me if you are interested – on special order 1-2 Months.

Hi Doede. How does this compare to the ones from Audio Creative?
The Sowters are specially designed for very high bandwidth and sound fast and dynamic. I have not listened myself to the new gold versions. Feedback says they sound very precise and refined. Both are very good; it might be preference and depending on the rest of your audio chain.
May be try both of them? Mine can be returned withing 30days, no questions asked. Ask AC for a similar arrangement?
Hi Doede. Do the Sowter come in pairs or just one each?
Hi Justin, well you need two for stereo of course. I am not selling them as single as I order them also in pairs….
In the shop they are priced pre piece at 375 Euro
