Daniel Hertz has introduced the Eva S50 System, a high-performance, compact audio system that includes the Daniel Hertz Maria 50 with Eva speakers. Personally designed by Mark Levinson, Eva S50 delivers the magic you would expect from a $100,000-plus system for $13,499.98.
“Our new DH technology is scalable, we can now put the best within reach of more people,” says Levinson. “Eva, with bass below 30 Hz with no subwoofer, satisfies the most demanding listeners with sound and features beyond many of the most expensive systems on the market.”
The Maria 50, powered by the Daniel Hertz Mighty Cat amplifier chip with embedded C-Wave technology, delivers sound better than pure analog from any analog or digital source, including streaming, according to the company.
Maria is a single-chassis design with the shortest signal path possible, eliminating signal degradation caused by multiple component systems and the limitations of old technology.
The Maria 50 includes the functions of the digital-to-analog converter (DAC), preamplifier, power amplifier, and interconnect cables in one chassis. An independent headphone amplifier is included with a 1/4-inch front headphone jack that can be fine-tuned to bring out the best in the headphones of your choice.
Maria 50 2-channel speaker outputs are rated at 150 watts per channel at 8 ohms and 300 watts per channel at 4 ohms with .002% THD (total harmonic distortion) across the audio band. Clipping is at considerably higher power.
The USB, coax, and Wi-Fi inputs have 24/192 resolution. Maria 50’s native resolution is 384 kHz PWM, 3ns. Bluetooth 5.2 offers full CD 16/44.1 resolution. Three pairs of analog 1 megohm inputs are provided with RCA connectors. Exclusive Daniel Hertz in-house speaker connectors, with no extra solder joints or metal parts, provide the highest quality left and right speaker outputs.
Eva speakers are built with a Daniel Hertz 1-inch silk dome tweeter, 6-inch woofer, 2-way crossover, and black piano-finished cabinet with 25mm thick walls, all edges radiused.
The Eva S50 System is available for immediate shipping on danielhertz.com for $13,499.98.
