Sound Pure's Take

These converters are no longer available new, but they are still a very high-quality unit and this eight channel D/A is priced to go. It's capable of DSD recording, and will ship with a DB25 cable designed to interface with the DSD connections on this unit.

From Other (Miscellanous Used/Vintage/Consign)

The GXD8 is a professional 8-channel digital to analog audio converter, supporting all standard sample rates from 44.1kHz up to 192kHz at resolutions of 16, 20 or 24 bits. It also supports the Sony DSD format (1-bit, 2.8224MHz sample rate) when married with the included DSD upgrade kit.

All settings are available from the intuitive front panel with no complex menu structures to navigate. The front panel also includes 8 high resolution peak power meters (PPMs), one for each channel.

As standard, the GXA8 is fitted with four AES/EBU digital inputs providing eight channels of analog audio output up to 96kHz and four channels of output for 192kHz.
