It has optimised re-clocking circuit, clock stability and a Class-A tuned power supply. Furutech and S3 Supreme fuse upgrades are included. High-end top-class streaming quality with bit perfect playback. Supports a SPDIF, AES/EBU and IIS HDMI digital outputs. IIS allows the DAC to derive ultra low jitter synchronous timing of the serial data that will be set up for transmission. Two femto ultra low jitter clocks, Crystek 957 series, are applied for extremely detailed signal handling and exact timing. TECHNOLOGY Automute I2S signal when switching between sample rates Fully re clocked I2S over HDMI output PS Audio / Audio-GD / Holo Audio / Singxer compatible Galvanic isolated and reclocked SPDIF output (RCA or BNC or AES/EBU Connection) 2x CRYSTEK FEMTO Clock’s. FIFO Oscillators designed specifically for High Definition Audio (HD Audio). It features a typical low close-in phase noise of -100 dBc/Hz @ 10 Hz offset, and a noise floor of -169 dBc/Hz. With this extreme low phase noise performance, you will “Hear the Difference”. Ultra low noise Tentlabs shunt regulators for oscillators and digital audio circuit. The shunts drop in instead of commonly used industrial types of regulators. Having much lower noise, true wide bandwidth and linear output impedance, they’ll bring improvement to sound in terms of: Higher resolution, better transparency, clean low ends and increased dynamics. Low noise Class-A Power supply provided without generating unwanted noise and without passing it along into the sensitive digital signal path. High quality R-core transformer. The R-core transformer has high isolation degree. it can improve the signal-to-noise ratio, isolate the harmonic interference, reduce the noise, make he background cleaner. R core transformer can fully improve the quality of sound. HDMI LVDS I2S OUTPUT I2S is like USB asynchronous connection. Compared to standard S/PDIF where clock signal is integrated in data stream a complex process is required in the DAC to transform signal back to asynchronous. With I2S the shortest possible signal path from streamer to DAC to analogue conversion is achieved. No additional encoding and decoding steps are required. USB does require this. The HDMI cable from streamer to DAC is less impacting the sonic quality and no expensive cables are required to obtain best sound quality. The only disadvantage you could think of is I2S is not really a standard, although more and more vendors are supporting I2S as external in or output. R-Core transformer R-core transformer has high isolation degree. it improves the signal-to-noise ratio, isolate the harmonic interference, reduce the noise, make he background cleaner. R core transformer can fully improve the quality of sound. More info: https://magnahifi.com/mano-ultra-musi...
