Features
High quality sound
0Toroidal transformer
This unit features a toroidal transformer that produces less vibration and magnetic leakage flux compared to conventional power transformers. The materials and manufacturing process of the ring-shaped core are strictly controlled to reduce vibration, while the short-ring attached to the perimeter of the transformer reduce magnetic leakage flux.
0Large-capacitance block capacitor
A large capacitance 4700 μF capacitor carefully selected for its acoustic characteristics is incorporated into the power supply circuit.
0Audiophile-grade film capacitors and electrolytic capacitors
The unit’s features the same audiophile-grade film capacitors and electrolytic capacitors specifically used in top-range models.
0Low-noise low-distortion filter circuit and highspeed HDAM®SA3-type output amplifier
0Double-layered chassis
0High-grade machined analog audio output connectors
0High grade headphone circuit
The high-grade headphone circuit incorporates
HDAM®SA2 amplifier to enable headphone listening of high quality sound reproduction, late at night or in other such situations.
0Isolation design
To prevent audio quality from degrading due to noise from external devices when this unit is connected to external devices such as computers, the ground circuit for the Digital input interface device is isolated from the audio circuit.
0Optical Drive off design
When USB-DAC, Coaxial or Optical input is selected, this unit achieves high quality sound by turning off the drive.
High performance
0Equipped with a USB-DAC function to support playback of high-resolution sound sources
This unit supports the playback of high resolution audio formats such as DSD (2.8/5.6/11.2 MHz) and PCM files up to 384 kHz/32 bits. It provides high quality playback of high resolution files into this unit from a computer via USB-B connection.
0Can be used as a D/A convertor
Digital audio signals input from an external device or computer into this unit can be converted and output as analog signals using this unit’s D/A converter.
0Supports high-resolution audio sources stored on discs
MP3, WMA, AAC, WAV, FLAC, ALAC, AIFF and DSD files that have been recorded onto DVD-R/-RW/+R/+RW or CD- R/-RW discs can be played back on this unit.
0Plays USB memory devices (MP3/WMA/AAC/WAV/ FLAC/Apple Lossless/AIFF/DSD)
You can play back audio files stored on a USB memory device by connecting the USB memory device to the USB port.
0Peripheral circuitry off function minimizes audio output signal interference
In order to minimize noise from peripheral circuitry which could interfere with the analog audio signal, this unit is equipped with a peripheral circuitry off function which turns off the digital output circuit, the display, and the illumination lamp.
0Filter switching function
Switching between 2 types of filter characteristics is possible during playback in the CD/DAC modes, allowing the listener to enjoy different shadings of the music.
