Furutech Introduces the 24/96 GT40 USB DAC with Phono StageThe GT40 is finally here, built for enthusiasts with growing music collections on their computer hard drives. It’s a high performance 24-bits/96kHz USB DAC that’s amazingly affordable at only $525 in the USA. Looking to convert your LPs or other analog sources to digital? The GT40 will take you to the podium with every album you archive.
The seriously-shielded audiophile-grade GT40 features a low-latency USB 2.0 audio driver that plays and records at 96 kHz. A likely first for this category, the GT40 includes a built-in low-noise MM / MC phono preamp! Record your favorite vinyl to hard disk via the USB output.
The ADL GT40 features L/R analog outputs, and switchable line or phono inputs with a vivid, captivating sound that is simply unheard of in this category.
The ADL GT40 (wired with Furutech’s GT2 USB cable of course!) brings Furutech’s signature sound -- smooth, detailed clarity -- to desktop systems, especially with high resolution 24-bits/96kHz files, but even 16-bit/44.1kHz files sound impeccable and very musical.
Detailed Product SheetA/V Guide Review (1)The GT40 can be used in several different capacities, so we need to break down the way it handles each task. They say that a jack-of-all-trades is a master of none, but I found that the GT40 was remarkably competent at just about every task, especially when you consider its reasonable selling price.
A/V Guide Review (2)The GT40 brings High End sound to your system in the following way: Recall any visit to a fellow audio enthusiast’s home. As music plays you can immediately hear if the sound “sets up” in an audiophile way: A sense of spaciousness, imaging, out-of-the-speaker sound, open highs and an inviting midrange over tight bass. The ADL GT40 brings Furutech’s signature sound of smooth, wideband, detailed clarity to desktop systems, especially with high resolution 24-bit/96kHz files, but music at 16/44.1 also sounds much improved. Your first impression will be that you’ve never experienced compute files sound so open!
AV Guide Review (3)"In the case of the GT40, we have what might arguably be the most versatile, performance-oriented desktop audio component any of us have yet seen."
Everything USB ReviewYou have what could be the ultimate audiophile dream come true! This really does sound like a radical departure from the everyday and maybe even herald in a paradigm shift with USB audio no longer being considered inferior devices!
Tech Radar ReviewDeep bass is excellent, a touch better in our opinion than that of the semi-pro (Firewire) ADC we used for comparison and the treble is nicely open and clear.
