Meet the all new PMG Signature 512 DAC powered by PureStream DSD.

Digital audio was born in 1982 with the launch of the first CD player, and PS Audio didn’t miss a beat—we introduced the world’s first high-performance standalone D-to-A converter and never looked back.

Now, after decades of innovation, we proudly unveil the PMG Signature 512 DAC.

At its core is the PureStream DSD512 engine, converting any form of digital audio into a pure 8X DSD stream—no PCM, no decimation, no compromise. That stream feeds our SpectraWave 64-Tap Sequencer, lowering noise and distortion while perfectly time-aligning the signal. From there, it flows into a state-of-the-art, direct-coupled analog output stage.

The result is breathtaking—fluid, natural, and as analog as it gets. With a built-in high-end streamer for seamless access to your music, the 512 is our best DAC ever.

For the first time in PS Audio’s history, our founder’s name graces a DAC. Yes, it’s that good. And this time, it’s personal.

Overview

Think of the PMG Signature 512 DAC as the ultimate destination in digital audio—a no-compromise centerpiece for the most revealing high-performance systems. Whether your setup is purely digital or a hybrid of analog and digital sources, the 512 redefines what’s possible from a DAC. Built around our PureStream DSD512 engine and SpectraWave 64-Tap Sequencer, and featuring a fully balanced, direct-coupled analog output stage, the PMG 512 delivers sound with breathtaking realism, depth, and musicality. It supports I²S for a perfect connection to our top transport, and includes a world-class galvanically isolated streamer. Replace your DAC, your streamer—or even your preamplifier—and prepare to be stunned by the transformation. Rich. Pure. Effortless. The PMG Signature 512 DAC is the product of over fifty years of innovation and the first to carry the name of our founder. It’s not just the best DAC we’ve ever built—it’s the best DAC we know how to imagine.
