sources on the Digital to Audio Conversion process
. Selectable DAC Mode or Digital Pre-Amplifier Mode, allowing direct connection to Power Amplifiers and Active speakers in Digital only systems
. 2.7” High contrast OLED display
. “Bit Perfect” Digital Data source analyzer
. Intelligent real-time Bit Depth analysis engine Displays the “True” Bit depth of the Digital input source
. Digital Data Decorrelation Engine Decorrelates the fixed “LSB's” data pattern within the Audio data stream when less then 24Bits. Data decorrelation at the DAC substrate level reduces both Digital and Analogue Second order effects within the DAC at the silicon Die level
. MS Windows LSB Data restoration for “Bit Perfect” reply corrects Windows' LSB rounding errors. Allows Bit Perfect “Plug and Play” with Windows Media Player
. ASYNC USB Buffer level display to insure correct functionality and diagnostics of the USB HOST device in ASYNC Audio streaming mode
. “Actual” or “Nominal” Sampling Frequency display displays the TRUE input sampling frequency with 1Hz resolution
. Digital level meters in dB with Peak hold
. CD / DVD SPDIF subcode embedded Track and Time Display
. Advanced De-Jittered Optical and Coax SPDIF Output, with USB to SPDIF output.
. Selectable Optical or Coax Clock-Lock interface allowing “Jitter Free” Clock-Locked connection with compatible CD transports etc.
. Full Remote Control + External Remote / BUS I/O loop
. 26 Internal regulated supply rails
. 10 Ultra Low Noise, Low Impedance Discrete Regulators
. 7 User Selectable Digital Filters Fully Software upgradeable via the USB Port
. Master Clock Jitter less then 3pS Short Term - Measured directly at DAC “XOut”
. Organic Ultra Low ESR capacitors, High Tolerance Polypropylene film / Foil capacitors, Ultra Stable Very Low VCR 0.1% MELF SMD resistors, 4 Layer PCB
. External upgradeable Power supply interface for a future upgrade path
