Nuforce DDA120 Integrated Amp
INTRODUCTION
The DDA-120 integrated power amplifier accepts analog, digital and Bluetooth audio inputs from computers,
consumer entertainment and streaming devices without the complexity of an audio/video receiver.
In order to have more input options, the DDA-120 accepts a full compliment of sources - one RCA analog, four digital
via one USB, one coaxial, two optical inputs, and one expansion slot for a Bluetooth receiver dongle.
Features
176.4kHz input sampling rate
3GB/s over-sampling rate for smoother, more natural reproduction
An on-chip clock reference signal for synchronizing incoming digital audio data -Data re-clocking
results in ultra low jitter performance
100% linear frequency and phase response (+/- 0.1dB from 20 to 20kHz)
THD+N = 0.07%
Signal-to-noise ratio > 95dB A-weighted
High-quality, audio-grade parts throughout
