Brighton has begun pre-orders for Eversolo’s high-end DAC “DAC-Z10.” Priced at ¥385,000 (tax included), offered at special campaign price of ¥374,000 during the pre-order period until February 28, 2026. Scheduled release date is January 20, 2026.
High-End DAC Attracting Global Attention
The DAC-Z10 has attracted attention worldwide immediately after announcement, with current delivery times around 6 weeks. This high interest stems from Eversolo’s unique complete digital/analog separation design and comprehensive specifications.
Complete Digital/Analog Separation Design
The DAC-Z10’s greatest feature is its design completely separating digital and analog circuits. This design minimizes digital noise mixing into analog signals, reduces crosstalk, and realizes high-purity music playback.
Independent AK4191+AK4499 DAC modules for left and right channels realize true dual-monaural configuration. Each channel operating completely independently improves stereo image clarity and soundstage expansion.
8-Mode I2S Input and Diverse Connection Options
The DAC-Z10 features 8-mode I2S input, supporting connection with various digital transports. I2S (Inter-IC Sound) is an interface for transmitting high-quality digital audio signals between DAC and transport.
Furthermore, it supports 50Ω/75Ω and 10MHz/25MHz external clock inputs. Using external master clocks can further reduce jitter and improve sound quality.
Stable Operation with 3 Independent Power Supplies
The DAC-Z10 features 3 independent power supplies. By providing dedicated power to digital circuits, analog circuits, and clock circuits respectively, it prevents mutual interference and is designed for each circuit to operate in optimal conditions.
Power quality is a crucial element affecting DAC performance. The adoption of independent power supplies realizes stable power supply and low-noise operation, establishing the foundation for high sound quality playback.
Pre-order Campaign
The DAC-Z10 is offered during the pre-order campaign until February 28, 2026, at special price ¥374,000 (tax included), ¥11,000 off the regular price of ¥385,000 (tax included).
This is a chance to obtain this globally anticipated high-end DAC at a discount during the campaign period.
