The 8 Channel 384 kHz, 32 bit ADC

This ADC is loaded with features. The following flow chart illustrates the configuration options.

Here is a bit of explanation. There are 10 output channels. Two each on the 4 balanced XLR outputs, plus two possible on the BNC clock output, which can be used as a clock or another digital output. Each of these ten outputs can be independently configured with any combination of the 8 input channels. This allows any mix for the inputs to be sent to each output.

The four pairs of input channels are each configured with analog gain, grounding, DC offset and filtering. Each output channel is not only a blend of input channels but can have also have a different dither and bit depth setting, but must be at the same sampling rate.

The Stereo 384 kHz, 32 bit ADC

The Stereo ADC is all about performance. The following flow chart illustrates the simplified configuration options.

The single input pair can be configured with analog gain, grounding, DC offset and filtering. There just one pair of output channels, repeated on two connecters. The output channel can have the dither and bit depth set. The incoming audio is sent out on each on the 2 balanced XLR outputs. The level of each output channel can be adjusted.

ADC Ordering Options

Two models are available, the Stereo or 8 channel.

The 8 channel ADC has a dedicated setup and control for each of 8 independent channels. They can be mixed and each controlled. The performance is fantastic.

The Stereo Model provides four parallel converters for each channel with unheard of clarity. It is the ultimate ADC.

Each ADC must be attached to a Platinum Power Supply. Each power supply comes with an output, able to operate a DAC or ADC AND an optional output to operate an MSB transport. First we must select the Power Supply Chassis, a Standard, Signature or Diamond.

The standard power supply is matched to the standard DAC and can be used with the ADC. Depending on your particular power quality, system sensitivity, upgrade plans and listening habits, an upgraded supply may be the right choice.

The Signature Power Supply includes upgraded transformers, additional magnetic and electrostatic shielding and an upgraded Power Link Cable. It is ideal for use with the ADC.

The Diamond Power Supply includes upgraded capacitors, additional magnetic and electrostatic shielding. It also provides twice the power output and an exceptional Power Link Cable. It is also an optinum match for the Stereo ADC.

The Digital output option is highly recommended as it will operate any of the new family of MSB transports, including CD and universal transports, and various computer server products. This is a factory option only. It can not be installed by a dealer or customer.
