The Brooklyn DAC+ s new headphone circuitry performance challenges many dedicated headphone amplifiers. A lot of praises were written about the Brooklyn DAC, which has sold many thousands of units since the launch of MQA. The new Brooklyn DAC+ provides users with benefits of the newest conversion technologies, while retaining the amazing versatility and affordability that the original Brooklyn DAC has been praised for.

Mytek s engineering team have used their extensive DSD experience to get the Brooklyn AMP dual mono Class-D circuit design sounding better than other comparable Class-D designs to date. The Brooklyn AMP is compact, yet delivers deep and powerful tight bass, natural mids and silky, smooth highs.

3 Several additional features include monoblock bridge operation, biamp operation and a 12VDC power trigger. The sculpted chassis design integrates perfectly with the Brooklyn MQA/DSD DAC and Brooklyn MQA/DSD DAC+ for a great sounding compact electronics setup capable of playing digital music or vinyl into a set of speakers and headphones.

He worked in two legendary New York City recording studios the Hit Factory and Skyline Studio, forming many working relationships and friendships in the NYC audioengineering community that have continued to this date. He developed a series of Analog-to- Digital converters that improved the quality of digital mixes. Nearly all recordings by Mariah Carey, James Taylor, James Brown, The Chic, Laurie Anderson, Lou Reed, and others from the late 1980s to the mid-1990s were mixed with prototypes of Mytek digital converters. In order to commercialize his hardware designs, Jurewicz founded Mytek in New York in Mytek s goal has always been technological innovation aimed at preserving the highest possible sound quality during the recording process. It was Mytek s leadership position in Professional Audio since 1992 that convinced MQA, Ltd. to make Mytek its first standalone-hardware technology partner.
