DAC Sonnet Audio Morpheus - anteprima italiana

Pure & Simple Digital to Analog conversion with Volume control
What more can you do after launching one of the best DACs available today?  The idea of having a decent volume control to prevent a analog Pre-Amplifier could improve performance dramatically. However, we also know that the way of introducing such device in the signal chain can also have a negative effect. Experiments were made and as result the best sound was coming directly from our new  fully balanced dac modules.  Especially in case of R2R ladder DACs it is quite easy to change the output voltage of the DAC by changing its reference voltage . The SDA-2, a new generation DAC module was designed to get the best regulation possible. The result of this process is an extremely high linearity, right down to -140 dB, which gives our products a realistic 24 bit dynamic range.  It is musical, honors the Non-oversampling principle and simultaneously incorporating the technological progress that has been made over the years.

 

Sonnet Digital Audio (SDA) is a new company but based on a experienced crew having  a history of innovation in many fields within the world of acoustics and electronic design. In the audio industry we are primarily known  for  research and development of digital audio and in particular of digital to analog conversion technology. In the  field acoustics our experience dates back to 1989 and gradually over time broader electronic applications have evolved.

A diverse range of products have been created during this period, always relying  on solid natural laws. Digital signal processing has played a significant role in more recent developments however,  SDA is still working on developments and experiences in both fields which can be applied for future products.

Not only we will focus on manufacturing of complete high-quality sound systems , but on a broader base our knowledge will be used for new OEM components that can be used in many applications, both for domestic use and for use in recording studios. It will be a new and exciting period in which new products will see the light.

Your sincerely

poi no dsd....

@krell2 ha scritto:hai ragione,ma la vita è breve..preferisco cambiare e provare fin che posso..
lascio a voi i dac definitivi

3500 euro perché non ha il "case" in alluminio pieno tornito cnc e un sacco di belle lucine colorate, altrimenti potevi pagarlo anche il triplo! Ah poi non ha neanche il dsd…...…..

@krell2 ha scritto:E si...quasi regalato ..quasi quasi me compro 3!
Uno lo regalo alla suocera

@steve966 ha scritto:Completamente d'accordo! Poi, per carità, 3500€ sono comunque parecchi soldi. E comunque deve piacere la sonorità NOS e senza filtri.
