CAD 1543 DAC Best at Show

Computer Audio Design is located in the UK.

Our first goal was to produce a computer based DAC that gives a musical experience beyond the finest CD players on the market.  The CAD MKII 1543 DAC is designed for one thing:  To achieve a more natural, realistic flow to music similar to the best turntables along with the clarity, focus and detail that is possible with digital.

Our new CAD Audio Transport (CAT) now lifts the sound quality to another level and is a “plug & play” device.  No computer setup necessary!  Get the very best of computer audio with no computer setup required.

The new CAD USB Cable is guaranteed to improve the sound quality of your system or your money back.  The CAD USB cable uses patented filtering technology.

The engineer responsible for the design of all CAD products is Scott Berry.  Scott is an electrical engineer who worked for many years in R&D and manufacturing for Tektronix and Xerox on the West Coast of the USA.  Scott’s experience was in electrical engineering R&D work in high technology industries, but not in the audio sector. However, Scott has always made his own audio equipment and concentrated on DACs because “I have always been a vinyl junkie and I just did not like the sound from digital sources“

Scott believes the future of audio will be computer based, and that is how Computer Audio Design started.  “Not really having a history in audio development meant that the all my designs take an original approach – different materials and ideas which I feel give different results.”

The 1543 DAC has been Scott’s passion for many years, and like all CAD products each unit is handmade using only the highest quality parts custom built to Scott’s specifications.  Ninety percent of the parts in the 1543 DAC are manufactured in the UK by UK companies.

We encourage you to stop in for a listen at one of our dealers.  It will be unlike anything you have heard before.

CAD is looking for distributors – if you are interested in hearing CAD products please give us a call.
