An original, high-precision "moving average filter" circuit (MDSD) with double the playback speed is constructed through digital calculations using ultra-high-speed FPGA. Equipped with an "MDS conversion type D/A converter" with 16 circuits driven in parallel. Two "Hyperstream™ DACs" (ES9018) with eight built-in converter circuits (16DACs) are operated in parallel.
To prevent interference during operation of the line/balanced circuits, a completely independent analog filter "Direct Balanced Filter circuit" is installed.
The printed circuit board of the D/A converter uses a glass cloth fluororesin base material with low dielectric constant and low loss.
"EXTERNAL DSP input/output terminals" HS-LINK and coaxial are installed, allowing sound field correction in the digital domain.
7 digital input terminals in total: HS-LINK, BALANCED, COAXIAL (2 systems), OPTICAL (2 systems), and USB.
Coaxial and optical digital output terminals are installed.
Analog output is equipped with one line/balanced system, and the balanced output terminal is equipped with a phase change switch.
Two high-efficiency toroidal power transformers with completely independent digital and analog sections are installed.
