Digital
Interface(asynchronous
process)
DSP-3 inside
With USB and optional coaxial input (Support up to 24bit/96KHz)
RCA and BNC coaxial output
(Supports Original sampling and upsampling to 96KHz/192KHz)
Price: Version A USD190
(With USB and coaxial input)
Version B USD140 (Only
USB input)
Class A external power supply
USD75
(The Digital Interface can work well by USB
power supply ,The external power supply only for upgrade, not
necessary .)
Weight: Approximately 1.5KG
( Digital Interface)
3KG (Digital Interface + External power supply box)
Dimension: W163 X H44 X L120(MM)
Accessories: 1 USB cable
1 DC power cable and AC power cable ( Only for who order the
external power supply box) |
Please note:
Digital Interface had both BNC
and RCA coaxial output but users can connect both at same time.
Summarize:
Uses all audiophile grade components,
including DALE resistors, WIMA & SOLEN caps (German brand), custom order
NOVER (UK brand) caps. Digital Interface applied asynchronous process .
What's different between DSP1 and DSP3:
Both DSP1 and DSP3 are based on the
Altera Cyclone II chip, but we apply different software to perform
different functions. Both have data synchronization to reduce jitter,
but DSP1 has a built-in high performance digital filter, it is only used
for DAC. The DSP3 is especially designed for digital interface only, not
designed especially for DAC. It has built-in upsampling which allows
output up to 96KHz or 192KHz (In default setting, its output is the
original sampling), and designed for high speed SPDIF output, without
digital filter. DSP3 can accept I2S input/output.
What's benefit of the coaxial input:
The coaxial input can improve on SQ
from some low/mid rang coaxial output source. Like some DVD player, PC
sound card, low/mid rang CDP like the Marantz CD67, ect. If the coaxial
output source already quite Hi-end, don't expect the Digital Interface
can improve on SQ.
