AUDIO ANALOGUE VIVACE

Second-hand. In excellent conditions. No visible signs of wear. Comes with remote control, manual, and original packaging.

The Audio Analogue Vivace DAC/Preamplifier embodies Italian excellence in high-fidelity audio, combining elegant design, precision engineering, and an immersive sound that enhances every musical nuance. Developed by Audio Analogue, a company founded in 1996 between Pisa and Rome, the Vivace is a digital-to-analog converter designed to deliver natural and detailed sound reproduction, perfect for the most demanding music enthusiasts.

Equipped with Texas Instruments' PCM1795DB chip, this DAC supports resolutions up to 24-bit/192kHz across a wide range of inputs: asynchronous USB, three coaxial, four optical, and one AES/EBU. The balanced and unbalanced outputs ensure seamless integration with any Hi-Fi system, while the high-quality headphone stage and full-function remote control enhance its versatility. The Vivace also functions as a digital preamplifier, adapting to multiple audio configurations, although it does not support DSD or Bluetooth.

From an aesthetic standpoint, its minimalist design reflects Audio Analogue’s philosophy of refinement and functionality. The front panel features a white-on-blue display, indicating the selected input and sampling frequency, while a knob allows volume adjustment in preamp mode. The ergonomic and intuitive remote control provides full access to all settings.

The Vivace DAC/Preamplifier is the ideal choice for classical music lovers and those seeking natural sound reproduction, especially when paired with medium to small-sized speakers. Its velvety midrange, detailed timbre, and ability to reveal the richness of recordings make it an excellent investment for those who desire a warm, expressive, and fatigue-free listening experience.
