Analog Signal

Typical SA-CD reproduction involves numerous D/A and A/D conversions. The i.LINK digital connection can simplify the signal path.

However, these analog connections can expose the Super Audio CD signal to repeated D/A and A/D conversions. The i.LINK® interface of the DVP- NS9100ES overcomes this limitation. The i.LINK interface maintains the signal in the digital domain, protecting the music from repeated conversions. This i.LINK digital output is compatible with the i.LINK digital input on Sony's own STR-DA7100ES and the recent STR-DA9000ES. The i.LINK interface also enables a single digital cable to take the place of six analog cables.

A portion of the DVP-NS9100ES back panel shows the multi-channel analog outputs (lower right), stereo analog outputs (center), optical and coaxial digital outputs for DVD and CD (upper left) and i.LINK digital output for Super Audio CD (lower left).
