Choose your DAC module: CORE for a clean, neutral sound. PERFORMANCE, with dual DACs for greater clarity and detail. You can upgrade at any time see the module install video below.

PERFORMANCE DAC Module

The PERFORMANCE DAC uses dual ESS ES9039 chips with upgraded clocking and power regulation. The result is higher dynamic range, lower noise, and enhanced clarity. Expect a wider soundstage, more detail, and reference‑level performance for demanding listeners.

CORE DAC Module

Powered by the ES9039 chip, the CORE DAC handles Hi‑Res PCM up to 192kHz/24‑bit and native DSD256 on USB. It delivers low distortion with a neutral, transparent presentation—a clean, reliable choice for high‑quality digital playback.

Note: Modules are compatible with Billie Mk3 only.

“I would highly recommend spending the extra little bit on the performance DAC because I do believe it gives a much better musical performance than what a single DAC would give. The DAC in here, the way it’s implemented is really, really nice.”
