Pure Digital Path from the Source

The all new CR-H500NT and AG-H380 bring you a new standard of digital audio application. A USB port on these units allows you to connect an iPod via the USB cable which is supplied with your iPod, directly from digital audio connectors on iPod’s bottom – (known as 30-pin connector) – to a hi-fi standard D/A converter on the CR-H500NT or AG- H380. This is a pure digital process from the source to amplifier section, through a USB cable. The pure digital audio data is processed through the high grade D/A converter on the unit, then delivered to the amplifier output section.

TEAC’s pure digital path provides much higher quality digital-to-analog conversion as compared to processing on an iPod, and this process uses a better D/A converter as an authentic way of improving the sound.

In addition, digital audio files on flash memory – such as with iPod touch and nano, which employ silicon memory for music storage, and don’t have any motor that generate a byproduct jitter noise – is an ideal source for audiophiles.

When you choose a linear audio format like ”AIFF”, ”WAV” or ”Apple Lossless,” from the preference menu of iTunes when you rip a CD, the original digital data stream on CD will be stored on your iPod.

Digital Connection

In the past, audiophiles would upgrade their phono cartridge to improve sound, because it was at the very heart of the audio performance from vinyl disc contact to the electrical signal. Now, choosing a more advanced D/A converter is the modern route to audio quality perfection.
