Brinkmann Nyquist One DAC

The Brinkmann Nyquist ONE is a reference streaming DAC engineered to combine state-of-the-art digital performance with long-term upgradeability. Designed and manufactured in Germany, it features Brinkmann’s unique field-replaceable digital module architecture, allowing future digital technologies to be incorporated without replacing the entire unit. A completely redesigned power architecture, optimised circuit layout and precision clock management further reduce noise and jitter while preserving exceptional musical realism.

Separate conversion paths for PCM and DSD, custom digital filters and a hybrid analogue output stage employing NOS Telefunken valves contribute to its clarity, dynamic expression and natural tonal balance. Comprehensive streaming support, balanced and single-ended outputs, a dedicated headphone amplifier and extensive digital connectivity make the Nyquist ONE an exceptionally versatile digital source while maintaining the analogue refinement for which Brinkmann is renowned.
