THE MEDEA D/A CONVERTER
Features
Inputs:
There are three AES/EBU inputs on XLR connectors, and one on Toslink (optical). In addition each of the four inputs has an
S/PDIF (RCA) connector. The accepted sampling frequencies are 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, 176.4 or 192 kHz. In the case of 176.4 or
192 kHz sampling frequency, inputs # 1 and # 2 are used for the dual wire scheme of transferring 176.4 / 192 kHz data.
Synchronization:
Several signal reclocking schemes are combined for extremely high jitter attenuation, making the MEDEA virtually immune to
jitter over a very wide bandwidth.
Converters:
Eight times oversampling D/A converters are used. Our proprietary MRCS (Mutual Relation Correlation System) technology
lowers converter imperfections.
Outputs:
The discrete Class A outputs with virtually zero Ohm output impedance can drive complex loads without stability problems.
Output levels can be set between -infinity and +27dBu (+21dBu on asymmetrical outputs). The outputs are symmetrical on
XLR connectors and asymmetrical on RCA connectors. No sound degrading servo mechanisms are used.
