FEATURES
• Proprietary Optologic D/A conversion system. Pure R2R ladder - FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Arrays) based without digital filter
• Galvanic and magnetic isolations between the FPGA and the four branches of the R2R ladder converter
• Jitter free digital interface AQlink PRO (I2S protocol), uncompromising digital connection to La Diva cd transport
• Discrete R2R ladder DACs with low noise precision resistors
• Zero S/PDIF Jitter design, digital receiver stage PLL (phase locked loop) technology
• High-performance AQ Discrete Regulator (MOSFET, J-FET, BJT) for analog and digital DAC’s power supply
• 2 separate low noise C-Core power transformers, one for the analog and one for the digital section
• MODULAR DESIGN with upgradeable multi board platform
• Transformer-based true balanced audio output stage
• Fully upgradeable high-speed USB Audio Class 2 module, PCM 44.1kHz to 384kHz PCM up to 24 bits, DSD64 / DSD128, operates with computers running OSX 10.7 and above, WINDOWS 10, 7, 8, XP with ASIO bit perfect
• Proprietary USB Firmware / driver :
Apple MAC OS - Linux OS : USB asynchronous native support, no need to install drivers software
• Digital phase selector on front panel
• High-quality parts selected for sound quality:
- Tantalum, solid-polymer OS-CON and double-metalized MJP capacitors
