Thanks to a mix of dedicated reclocking, galvanic isolation and separate PSU rails for each digital output, Motivo has been designed to extract the maximum performance from any DAC.

 

It also features I2S over HDMI output, and it’s the only transport on the market that supports all protocols and pinouts.If you want to experience the best your DAC has to offer, Motivo is its perfect companion.
