Description

The Select features two power supplies: one dedicated specifically to the eight DAC modules (four per channel), and the other to the XLR outputs. This allows the Select to function as a true analog preamplifier, making it ideally suited to drive a power amplifier directly. The Digital Director is a significant upgrade; it handles all digital inputs upstream, thereby easing the workload of the conversion process within the DAC.
The connection between the Digital Director and the Select DAC is optical (ProISL) and lossless. A variety of digital input modules are available, including USB (via the ProISL/ProUSB module), I2S (via the I2S module), AES/EBU (via the AES module), and Optical/Coaxial (via the Toslink module).
I also opted for a rare addition: an analog RCA input module, which allows me to connect my phono source.
The role of the Digital Director (the top unit) when paired with the Select II:

Total galvanic isolation: The Digital Director moves the management of digital inputs outside the DAC chassis via a proprietary fiber-optic link (ProISL), which eliminates unwanted noise (from the network, "polluted" clocks, or external interference).
Increased computing power: It incorporates high-performance DSPs and FPGAs that handle advanced digital filtering and signal re-clocking before sending the data to the DAC.
Synchronization via the DAC’s clock: Rather than using its own internal clock, the Digital Director is clocked by the Select DAC’s ultra-high-precision Femto clock—transmitted via the ProISL fiber link—which reduces jitter to near-zero levels.

With the Digital Director in the signal path, there is no need for artificial upscaling or conversion techniques. You should play the files in NOS (No Over Sampling) mode and let the Digital Director handle the rest.
NOTE : This device was inspected and certified by MSB in October 2026.
