K DAC

The Key to Your Desktop Audio Masterpiece

The heart of a compact high-end system.
The color and character of your music.

Eleven Audio K-DAC is a compact high-end R-2R DAC designed for desktop audio systems. Featuring a custom Danish Soekris R-2R architecture, premium audiophile components, and a carefully optimized power supply system, K-DAC delivers natural musical expression with reference-level precision.

“In any premium audio system, the DAC defines the ultimate ceiling of performance. Like a Stradivarius violin in the hands of a master, without it, even the finest recording loses its soul.”

BBC Best Buy Choice award

K-DAC is designed as the central foundation of a refined desktop audio system.

Small in size, yet uncompromising in engineering, it inherits the R-2R architecture developed for our flagship SagraDAC, bringing true high-end conversion technology into a compact form.

K-DAC is the Key Point of your system — the element that shapes musical character, emotional expression, and the final limit of reproduction.

The Key Behind K-DAC

Custom Danish R-2R Architecture

K-DAC inherits the core DAC technology from our flagship SagraDAC, integrating a customized Danish Soekris R-2R conversion platform.Unlike conventional Delta-Sigma DAC designs, R-2R architecture preserves music through a precise resistor ladder structure, delivering natural tonal density, harmonic texture, and a more organic musical presentation.

Compact Form. Serious Performance.

With a width of only 212mm, K-DAC is designed for premium desktop environments where space is limited but performance cannot be compromised.

It can serve as:
▸ A high-performance desktop DAC
▸ The core of an active speaker system
▸ The foundation of a reference headphone setup

Despite its compact footprint, K-DAC provides the authority expected from a serious high-end component.

Hybrid Power Architecture

Digital Efficiency Meets Linear Purity

K-DAC adopts a carefully optimized hybrid power design combining digital efficiency with linear power refinement.

The internal power system includes:
▸ Eleven Audio custom AC-DC power module
▸ 9 independent power supply circuits
▸ Dedicated power regulation for different sections

Every critical circuit receives individually optimized power, reducing interference and preserving musical integrity.

Built Without Compromise

Premium Components Selected for Musical Performance

K-DAC uses carefully selected audiophile-grade components:
▸ Original Italian Amanero USB interface module
▸ Nichicon audio-grade capacitors
▸ High-performance digital processing architecture

Every component is chosen not only for specifications, but for its contribution to the final musical expression.

Pure DC Power Mode

Designed for the Ultimate Low-Noise Experience

K-DAC features a dedicated 12V DC input, allowing advanced users to operate the unit with:
▸ High-quality linear power supplies
▸ Battery power systems

For those pursuing the lowest possible noise floor, K-DAC can become a completely independent, off-grid digital source.

Why "K" DAC?

The Meaning Behind the Key

"K" comes from the word Key.

In music, a key defines tonality — the emotional color of a composition.

C major may feel like pure white.
E major may appear bright like yellow.
A minor may express a deep blue atmosphere.

The key determines the color of music.

In an audio system, the DAC plays a similar role.

It defines the tonal foundation, the emotional character, and the ultimate boundary of reproduction.

K-DAC is the Key Point of your desktop system.
