Audio
Note DAC 2.1x Signature is like the DAC 2.1x with upgraded components,
Black GateT capacitors,
Audio Note tantalum resistors and Audio NoteT copper foil signal
caps, plus a completely re-designed circuit board.
The new Audio
Note DAC 2.1x Signature incorporates unique filtering and output
technology to achieve a sweet, fluid presentation without resorting
to treble roll-off and the resulting loss of information and dynamics.
The filtering system is the subject of patents world-wide and
is both technically innovative and deceptively simple. Like our
amplification, the output stage incorporates valves, this time
in a Shunt Regulated Push Pull configuration.
All new DACs use the new Analogue Devices AD 1865 18 Bit DAC chip
with no over-sampling, coupled with a Crystal Semiconductor input
receiver with 44.1kHz and 96 kHz sampling capabilities. The digital
stages are fed by 8 separate shunt regulated power supplies.
Specifications:
- Class A operation
- Zero Feedback
- Proprietary copper digital filter coils
- 6922 valve output stage
- Paper-In-Oil coupling capacitors
- Analogue Devices AD1865 18Bit chip
- 2 inputs (1BNC & 1 RCA)
- 96kHz sampling compatible and upgradeable to 192kHz
