REFERENCE DAC WITH DUAL DESIGN

At the heart of the ECM 1 MKII are two Cirrus Logic DACs – one per channel – ensuring dedicated conversion and a fully balanced signal path. With support for hi-res audio up to 192 kHz / 24-bit and DSD128, music is reproduced with maximum precision, a wide dynamic range, and low distortion. The detailed and natural sound reproduction brings both digital and analog sources to life.

FULLY SYMMETRICAL ANALOG SECTION

The analog output section is designed as a true symmetrical circuit, ensuring optimal signal processing and minimal noise. The result is a clean and nuanced sound that reproduces every note with authenticity and depth. Whether you use the ECM 1 MKII as a DAC or a full-blooded streamer, it delivers reference quality throughout the entire chain.

FUTURE-PROOF STREAMING AND SOFTWARE

The ECM 1 MKII uses Electrocompaniet’s own EC Software Engine – the same platform as in the EC Living series – ensuring both flexibility and future-proofing. The system is continuously updated and provides intuitive control via a dedicated app for both iOS and Android. You get access to your music services directly through the device – without the need for external streamers.

FLEXIBLE STORAGE AND MULTIROOM INTEGRATION

With the option of internal hard drive installation (3.5” or 2.5”), you get local storage with unlimited capacity. The ECM 1 MKII supports DLNA and UPnP and can be integrated into a multiroom setup without compromising sound quality. It is the perfect solution for both stereo and multiroom enthusiasts.

INTELLIGENT DESIGN WITH MINIMAL POWER CONSUMPTION

The updated architecture with efficient power management reduces power consumption to just 0.5 W in standby and 50 W during use. At the same time, the noise level is kept ultra-low thanks to advanced internal shielding and component selection. All of this is wrapped in Electrocompaniet’s distinctive design – stylish, minimalist, and built to last.
