Features and Benefits

SuperTubeClock™ Technology

PrimaLuna EVO 100 - Tube DAC is the world's pioneer tube-based data clocking device, fundamentally revolutionizing your audio experience through its distinctive design. By using a low-noise mini-triode vacuum tube into the digital clock, the SuperTubeClock™ technology fosters remarkable resolution, detail retrieval, improved clarity, and increased definition from top to bottom. The result is a finely-sculpted, dynamic, and impactful sound that transports you right to the heart of your music.

AC Offset Killer

The AC Offset Killer takes you a step further into unchartered territories of immersive sound. As it significantly lowers transformer noise, this feature brings out the space, texture, and resonance of the acoustic elements in your music, ultimately elevating your listening experience to hitherto unexplored heights. You will feel the vibrations of a plucked string and the brass of a saxophone with a depth and detail you never believed possible.

PrimaLuna's Premium Parts

The inclusion of premium parts such as polypropylene coupling caps, triple pi power supply filters, and custom-designed isolation transformers ensure decreased signal degradation and improved sonics from top to bottom. The entire audio path – from resistors and capacitors – is carefully hand-wired with heavy-gauge cable by skilled craftspeople. The result is an audio output that is simply unbeatable in fidelity and quality.

Dual Mono Topology

With dedicated tubes for each channel, the PrimaLuna EVO 100 outshines competitors that only use a single tube as a buffer for both channels. This dual mono topology ensures that each channel receives a dedicated boost, which leads to a more inviting, engaging, and balanced sonic landscape.

Vacuum Tube Rectified

The EVO 100 features a vacuum tube rectified power supply that incorporates eleven separate power supply regulation circuits. This ensures an organic sound that will make your favorite tracks sound more resplendent and inviting, giving you an auditory experience that stands head and shoulders above digitally-produced sound.

USB Digital Input

Your computer becomes an enhancer of your music experience with the USB digital input, allowing for storage and playback of your music with all the advantages of creating playlists and more accessible access to your entire music library. The USB interface transforms the jitter-filled USB digital signal to S/PDIF before it reaches the SuperTubeClock™, dramatically improving the digital signal quality.

Auditory Perfection with the SuperTubeClock™

The SuperTubeClock™'s magic lies in the tube it uses. This rugged, long-life Russian military Triode specifically designed for oscillation purposes, is extremely linear, which means that the oscillation frequency wave it produces is extraordinarily pure and clean. By significantly lowering the amount of jitter and noise, it heralds superior detail retrieval yielding superior detail and dynamics. The result is a noiseless signal that retains its purity, even after being amplified. This pure signal delivers a richness and tonal accuracy that brings you closer to the essence of your music.
