From the combined efforts of Robert Zeff, Richard Greenway, Brad Ott, Fred Lynch and contributions from the championship ARC Audio sound quality competition team, the PS8 offers the most advanced solution to putting the power of tuning and creating that personalized musical experience back into the user’s hands. No longer will users be limited to their tuning capabilities with engineer defined restrictions or a processors inability to have sufficient memory or ability to process what most audiophiles consider to be even the most basic, but detailed tuning offerings without added compression or loss of signal quality as volume is increased.

Designed, engineered and manufactured exclusively in the USA the PS8 is built with only the highest quality handpicked electrical components from the USA, Europe and the UK. With design features including 4-layer gold core PCB's, ARC Audios exclusive M.I.N.E.R.; ground isolation technology, audiophile designed ultra-high frequency switching power supply, Ultra high performance exclusive audio grade DSP, proprietary DSP source code exclusive to the PS8 and a first of its kind auto recovery USB DSP technology gives users the assurance that they will only experience the most transparent, most natural, and most realistic sound of any DSP on the market!
