The Rockna Wavedream Reference is a flagship digital-to-analog converter and network renderer, utilizing a custom software-defined architecture powered by an AMD/ZYNQ SoC and four discrete FPGAs. It avoids off-the-shelf DAC chips, opting for proprietary discrete hybrid ladder (R2R) modules in a symmetrical, fully balanced layout. Featuring an ASRC-free digital PLL clock topology, custom Parks-McClellan 16x upsampling filters, and a hybrid ultra-low-noise power supply with over 90,000 µF of capacitance, it delivers extreme signal integrity. Its discrete Class-A JFET/bipolar analog output stage yields a highly transparent, natural, and musically coherent soundstage.

With a commitment to developing and manufacturing audio products that create sophisticated, enjoyable and inspiring music reproduction, Rockna Audio was founded in 1999. The Romanian company is constantly evolving and motivated by its passion for technology, which is reflected in original products made entirely in-house, in their own laboratories, with internal structures built from scratch, so to speak, avoiding standard solutions as much as possible.
