6 active listings · Price research →

TotalDAC emerged in 2010 from the Brittany region of France, near the iconic Mont Saint-Michel, founded by Vincent Brient, an engineering graduate from Supelec with a passion for digital audio. Brient began designing active digital crossovers and DACs as a student, evolving his work while employed as a telecommunications technician. By 2010, demand from audiophile friends prompted him to formalize the company, handcrafting all products in France with a focus on precision engineering.

The brand specializes in high-performance discrete R2R ladder DACs and streamers, renowned for their natural, refined sound through innovative FPGA buffering, reclocking, and FIR filters that address non-oversampling frequency response. Complementing these are integrated preamplifiers, power amplifiers, loudspeakers, and cable accessories, enabling complete TotalDAC systems tailored for ultimate fidelity in digital playback.

Positioned firmly in the high-end boutique market, TotalDAC commands worldwide acclaim among discerning audiophiles seeking analog-like warmth from digital sources, often praised for banishing digital harshness. Models like the d1-unity earn top accolades, such as Stereophile's A+ rating, appealing to buyers who prioritize handmade French excellence over mass production.
