This product is a unique combination of a very high performance DAC and the ultimate passive preamp. It is intended to be used as both for the best possible sound in your system. Our preamp philosophy is based on the belief that from the moment analog audio is created, every transition that is made degrades the quality. That means that an active preamp with many stages if perfect would have no effect and any imperfect

" Right Channel Over 10 years ago early DACs were all 16 bit ladder DACs, with a precision laser- trimmed resistor creating the appropriate analog level for each of the bits. The DACs MSB DAC Module (Non-inverted signal) worked well and sounded good. They were quite expensive as very accurate resistors 23 bit positive sign DAC were required. Then along came the “single bit” DACs. Rather than using a resistor to create an analog level, pulse width mod

listen to. Music with less high frequencies may benefit from the slow roll-off filter. To play a 24/192 disc the source player needs to have an MSB Network output. If your DVD-A player does not have the MSB Network output, it can be added. A 192k input will override the upsampling settings. #
Frequency and Volume Display – The actual sampling frequency of the incoming signal is displayed. This is not the normal display of the frequency reported by the decoder, which, for

Analog (SACD) – A balanced analog input is provided. It is passed through to both the single ended and balanced outputs when selected. (As well as the volume control if installed). This input is ideal for adding an SACD player to your system. Minimum input impedance is 600 ohms. For an RCA input, use an RCA to XLR conversion connector. At 0 dB volume setting, the analog inputs are a direct pass-through. Toslink – Although this format has the lowest bandwidth, it i

Remove the cover of the Platinum. Work on a soft scratch resistant surface like a carpeted floor. Three screws are located along the back edge and three screws on the bottom along the front edge. With these screws out, the cover lifts off. Now the power supply must be separated from the DAC. Each side panel is attached to both the top DAC part and the lower Power supply part. Remove the screws from the lower Power supply part. There are also screws between the two parts along the back edg

Troubleshooting No “Source” indicated on LEDs - Check for bad cable, or cable plugged into the wrong output on the transport. No sound - Check that source is valid audio source. Change to a standard CD just to be sure. Check that analog outputs are connected properly. Check that volume is turned up. Still no sound - connect an analog output from the source directly to the volume control. Verify that the rest of the system is working. Now move the same analog cable to the DAC and plug in a d
