Audia Flight FLS DAC Board

The Audia Flight FLS DAC Board is a high-resolution digital-to-analog converter designed to drop into the rear bay of an FLS series component. It adds five digital inputs (1 AES/EBU, 1 S/PDIF coaxial, 2 TOSLINK optical, 1 USB) and supports PCM up to 32-bit/384 kHz and DSD512. Once installed, the new inputs appear on the front-panel display alongside the host unit's analog inputs and are selectable from the volume knob or remote.

Compatible Models

• Audia Flight FLS 1 Fully Balanced Stereo Preamplifier
• Audia Flight FLS 9 Fully Balanced Stereo Integrated Amplifier
• Audia Flight FLS 10 Fully Balanced Stereo Integrated Amplifier

Installation Slot (A Bay / B Bay)

Every FLS series component (FLS 1, FLS 9, FLS 10) has two removable rear-panel bays where optional boards install: A bay (top) and B bay (bottom). Each FLS optional board has a fixed bay assignment based on its panel layout, and up to two boards can be installed at once, one per bay.

FLS optional board bay assignments:

• FLS DAC Board: A bay only
• FLS XLR Expansion Board: A bay only
• FLS MM/MC Phono Board: B bay only
• FLS RCA Expansion Board: B bay only

Boards that share a bay are mutually exclusive: DAC and XLR cannot both be installed (both A bay), and Phono and RCA cannot both be installed (both B bay). Any A-bay board pairs cleanly with any B-bay board.

This DAC board installs in A bay. Common pairings: DAC + Phono (A+B) and DAC + RCA (A+B). DAC and XLR cannot coexist because both occupy A bay.

Other FLS Optional Boards

• Audia Flight FLS Audio Expansion Board, Balanced (XLR) (A bay)
• Audia Flight FLS MM/MC Phono Board (B bay)
• Audia Flight FLS Audio Expansion Board, Single Ended (RCA) (B bay)
