Brushed aluminum finish exemplifies the quality of construction
The front panel is constructed of thick brushed aluminum. The high-quality luxurious finish matches the overall attention to the finest possible quality, shown in such details as the illuminated periphery to the control buttons, the top-panel logo, and the milled aluminum disc tray.
Unsurpassed design and features
Separation of power supplies for each major function (digital audio, DAC circuitry, analog audio) ensures total fidelity. The DACs have sub-ground impedances with exceptional S/N figures.
Audio DACs
All audio channels use Burr-Brown 24-bit DA converters (PCM1704). Improved linearity is achieved for the two front channels by the use of dual converters for each channel.
The audio DAC boards employ a high-quality quartz crystal, resulting in the almost complete elimination of jitter and subsequent distortion-free DA conversion.
Word synchronization
A master word clock from a high-quality DA converter or master clock generator can be used for clock synchronization, resulting in the almost complete elimination of jitter.
Using a high-quality clock signal provided by an external DA converter such as the Esoteric G-0/G-0s provides optimum audio quality.
i.LINK (AUDIO) terminal
The digital surround audio from Super Audio CDs can be output from the i.LINK (AUDIO) terminal.
