Audio Analogue DAC

Audio Analogue was born in that beautiful part of Tuscany between Pistoia, Lucca and Pisa in 1995. The synergy between experts of high fidelity, electronic engineers specialized in various fields of electronic design and sales managers with years of experience in various sectors could only create the base of what is Audio Analogue today: a company, but mostly a brand among the most renowned in Italy and around the world to satisfy the palates of the most demanding audiophiles.
Products such as Puccini (both in the basic version that SE), Maestro Integrated, the Paganini, the Maestro CD, Verdi Cento, the Class A as the integrated amplifier as in the power amplifier version, along with all other models and their various versions that have come and gone over the years have marked our history and consolidated the statement of our brand in the world that has always been known for the undeniable sound quality.
Products truly MADE IN ITALY, heart, soul and substance, using mainly small and very skilled industries and craftsmen almost Km0 to make the most of the Italian excellence and raise the quality of our and their work. Equipment completely hand-made, tested with first-rate equipment, but also with listening tests, finding always the thrill of having created something which may give emotions through listening to favorite music.
“The Audio Analogue AAdac is a device with character. He puts the emphasis on a performance that is as “analog” as possible and sounds wonderfully non-technical. It starts with the bass, which leaves aside the very last bit of hardness and control in order to swing and groove in a dreamlike rousing manner, goes into a mid-range, which offers strong timbres carried by the fundamental tone and at the same time has a high resolution and clean dynamic gradations, and ends in one silky, finely resolved, supple high tone. He confidently passes through coarse dynamic attacks. Spatially, he likes it a little bigger.”
““I think the AAdrive and AAdac are both “something of a high-end star combination in the making. They deserve to be at the front end of some extremely high-grade audio… making this one of the go-to digital front-ends to beat at a price.”
“The AAdac in particular takes on an extremely contended market. And wins.”
“In truth, however, I was surprised at how good the Audio Analogue combination sounded, and I really shouldn’t be. I know what that Italian audio company is capable of, musically speaking, because it has shown itself to be a maker of fine components in the past. It can do to digital what it does so well to analogue shouldn’t be a surprise. However, the fact it does it so well, making this one of the go-to digital front-ends to beat at a price still comes as something of a surprise, in part because the AAdac, in particular, takes on an extremely contended market. And wins.
Finally, the AAdrive and AAdac combination taken together is worthy of note, as they too represent one of the best ways of making a good sound from CD for the high-end enthusiast without £50k to burn.”
“The AAdac is a charmer. It’s up against some tough competition but has a balance of qualities that’s hugely appealing. Add the lovely sound to the carefully considered features and elegant build, and the only conclusion is that this is one product that deserves serious consideration.”
“tonally warm for an analog vibe in the best sense of the word…a powerfully supportive bass with excellent swing and groove but not the last word in control and brutality…a sonorous midband shows a small emphasis in its lower reach benefits vocals to nearly overshadow otherwise excellent resolution and microdynamic differentiation…”
