DCC2 User Manual

DCC2 Digital Control Center

The DCC2 is a stereo D/A converter with built-in pre-amplifier that evolved from EMM

Labs’s acclaimed converter and pre-amplifier systems that have been used worldwide in

professional recording studios to master some of the finest recordings in both CD and

SACD releases.

The D/A section provides conversion from a wide variety of digital input formats to analog

audio, and the pre-amp section provides 2 analog inputs and 1 analog output. There is an

additional analog output that bypasses the pre-amp section.
