The CMA Twelve Master incorporates four stages of CMA amplification and
both single-ended and balanced headphone jacks, ensuring optimum performance
from the most-demanding headphones and IEMs.
The DAC uses a high end AKM chip to process PCM up to 32-bit/384 kHz,
and True DSD processing yields a pure DSD signal up to 256, without conversion
to PCM or DoP. The CMA Twelve Master’s elegant enclosure is anodized
in black, and is precision-machined from 10mm aircraft grade aluminum,
eliminating concerns about vibration and resonance. With sound quality that
will please any audiophile and versatility that make it useful in professional
studios, the CMA Twelve Master will be a welcome addition to any audio system.
The "Master" edition, which is an upgrade from the CMA
Twelve, offers a higher level of performance with the adoption of ceramic
circuit boards and optimized components. Ceramic circuit boards provide
the ultimate in thermal stability, electrical insulation, and low
dielectric loss; they are quieter,
better-isolated and more stable over time and will deliver a more
dynamic performance for decades to come.
