The Premier Nine is a Digital-to-Analog Converter featuring a state-of-the-art vacuum tube analogue stage.

The Premier Nine features a "bit-stream" digital/analog converter stage. It accommodates the full 16 bit digital sample word, offering full resolution of all encoded information. Filtering and de-emphasis are performed in the digital domain to achieve a greater linear phase bandwidth. Third order noise shaping effectively attenuates a musical digital processing spuriae by 118dB, below the inherent digital noise floor.

Separate power transformers, separate regulated power supplies, and a shielded compartment isolate the analog stage from the digital circuitry.

All component parts are the finest conrad johnson deploys. All capacitors are cjd polystyrene and all resistors are precision, laser-trimmed metal foil resistors.
