The UD-503 delivers world-class digital audio conversion in an ultra high-fidelity design that will easily fit into any home audiophile system. The UD-503 also features a built-in headphone amplifier that will bring your headphones to life, maximizing their full potential. The reason the UD-503 sounds so good is TEAC used VERITA AK4490 DACs, which have an established reputation for use in high-end audio equipment. The VELVET SOUND architecture provides the fine expressive capability suitable for the playback of high-resolution audio sources that reproduce sound waves outside the human audible range. Furthermore, a newly developed low distortion technology enables performance of S/(N+D) = 112 dB. This is the best level in the industry for a 120dB class DAC. Not only is native playback with direct processing of 11.2MHz DSD signals possible, support is provided for an even greater variety of high-resolution audio sources, including 384kHz/32-bit PCM digital input. Dual-Monaural Structure Supports Fully-Balanced Transmission Behind the expressiveness of the UD-503, which exceeds the level expected of its class, is an indulgent dual-monaural circuit structure that encompasses every aspect from the power and D/A sections to the analog output stage. Starting with the toroidal core power transformers, which feature the ability to supply stable current, and the high-performance VERITA AK4490 DACs, the dual-monaural structure has a complete mono circuit for each channel. This prevents the signals from interfering with each other as much as possible. Interference is suppressed between the left and right channels, which is particularly important for headphone listening, so this unit can also be used as a high-performance headphone amplifier. Furthermore, by processing the output signals of each channel completely with a differential from immediately after D/A conversion to the final output stage, common mode noise is reUSB DAC supports 11.2MHz DSD and 384kHz/32-bit PCMDual-monaural circuit structure used from the power supply to the digital and analog sectionsBoth left and right channels have their own high-end AK4490 DACsTwo high-capacity toroidal core power transformersone each for left and right channelsIsolation circuit that completely separates the digital and analog sections electrically4 TEAC HCLD buffer amplifiers, which are current-enhancing output buffer circuits, are used for the line amplifiersUp-conversion to formats up to 12.2MHz DSD and 384kHz/32-bit PCM using an FPGA (programmable IC) that utilizes a fluency functionTwo types of DSD filter and four types of PCM digital filter, as well as an OFF mode10MHz external clock input supported (available during USB asynchronous transmission)Two high-precision internal clocksone each dedicated to 44.1kHz and 48kHz signals (available during USB asynchronous transmission)One pair of RCA analog unbalanced Consumer Electronics, Consumer Electronics Accessories, Headphone Preamps & Converters TEAC J36124 UD-503-B TEAC, Headphone Preamps & Converters |
