Sonnet Pasithea DAC

The Sonnet Pasithea is a flagship R2R ladder DAC that builds upon the success of the Morpheus, offering even higher performance with an advanced NOS (Non-Oversampling) design. Developed by Cees Ruijtenberg, it delivers ultra-transparent, natural sound with exceptional depth and realism. 

Compared to the Morpheus, Pasithea has a tighter grip on the bass and better extension up top. Overall, it is a warm DAC with an incredible midrange that will keep you on the edge of your seat because of how lifelike and beautiful it sounds. Pasithea is our auto-recommendation when someone is looking for an expressive rendition of vocals. It casts a warm hue on vocals with a 3D body, with a large stage that is very deep.
