Frustrated by the lack of an affordable audiophile-grade digital amplifier solution for his Apple TV, NuForce CEO Jason Lim developed his own -- the newly-released Dia digital audio converter (DAC) and amplifier for streaming and home audio/visual devices. The unit bypasses the built-in DACs found in most A/V equipment and offers 24-bit/192kHz conversion along with a 24W stereo amplifier that connects to a variety of equipment.
