This is the younger
sibling of the highly acclaimed DAC5. Whilst the less expensive
and thus simplified analogue filter, componentry and power supply
certainly makes the DAC4.1x slightly inferior to the DAC5, its quality
still far exceeds that of conventional converters with over- or
upsampling and other such technical trickery.

About Audio Note's DAC Design Concept:
Audio Note produces some of the finest D/A converters in the market. 1x means
NO over sampling and no digital filtering, and once heard it is hard to deny
the utter superiority of this topology. The Audio NoteT 1x oversamplingT
Direct from DiscT conversion system allows you for the first time to hear
the undiluted, unaltered and uncontaminated digital signal, as it was recorded,
without the time smear, correction or other interference introduced by other
converters.
Direct from DiscT really does mean what it says! There always was more good
information stored on your discs than previously thought.
