SPL Diamond DAC in Black

Description

Diamond is the perfect DAC and preamplifier for everyone who plays music exclusively from digital sources. Diamond offers connectivity for six digital sources and an external word clock. The superior VOLTAiR technology and the premium DAC with the unequalled DLP120 combined with an analogue volume control allowing for highest resolution at any volume makes the Diamond an one-of-a-kind DA converter that delivers finest soundstages with an unrivalled analogue feel.The volume is adjusted with a solid, milled aluminium, rotary knob. The Alps RK27 “Big Blue” potentiometer gives a pleasant “spoon in the honey” rotary feel.Diamond offers each a stereo USB and AES input as well as each two optical and coaxial stereo inputs. Via USB, both PCM audio and DSD audio can be converted. PCM audio is received in S/PDIF format, both coaxial (RCA), optical (Toslink F06) and balanced (AES/EBU).The source selection is done via the selection control on the front. The selected input is also shown in the dot matrix LED display: USB, COA1, COA2, OPT1, OPT2 or AES. After approximately two seconds, the display shows the type of clock source and the detected sampling rate.Key Features:Well Informed: The DAC automatically picks up the sampling rate and resolution of the digital playback source. No matter if a streamer, computer, CD player or an external word clock is connected. The detected sampling rate and the selected clock source are shown in the dot matrix LED display. For example, U768 is an acronym for a clock signal in the USB stream with a sampling rate of 768 kHz.Always In Time: Diamond can not only synchronize to the clock integrated in the digitally fed source signal. As a specialist for digital players Diamond offers a word clock input. The source of the clock signal can be selected via the CLOCK switch.The VOLTAiR Technology: The 120V technology is our reference technology. The 120V technology is unique in the world. It operates at a DC voltage of 120 volts. This is four times that of IC-based semiconductor op-amps. In our Professional Fidelity series, we refer to this unsurpassed technology as VOLTAiR technology.Specifications:Colour: BlackAnalogue Inputs and Outputs: XLR (balanced), RCA – Maximum output level: 32.5 dBu – Output impedance: 75 Ω – Frequency range (0 dBu): 10 Hz – 100 kHz – Crosstalk (0 dBu, 1 kHz): -108 dB – THD & N (0 dBu, 1 kHz): 0.001001 % – Noise (A-weighted): -102 dBu – Dynamic range: 134.5 dBDimensions: – Width: 278mm / 11“ – Length: 300mm / 11.81“ – Height: 57mm / 2.24“ – Weight: 3.15kg / 6.95lbsPower: – Mains voltage (selectable, see fuse chamber): 230 V AC / 50; 115 V AC / 60 HzSPL Diamond DAC in Black
