A Masterpiece of Musical Refinement
At the heart of the N50 lies a commitment to sound quality, delivering a quiet, natural sound, characterised by a jet-black background and vast soundstage.
Designed for Noise-Free Operation
The N50’s architecture is fundamentally designed to eliminate noise at its source — ensuring that nothing interferes with the music:
- Triple-chassis Architecture (Server / Power / Audio): By physically separating critical functional blocks, each chassis operates in complete isolation, dramatically reducing internal interference.
- Isolated Network Ports: Independent network connections ensure clean signal paths and enhanced noise immunity, preserving the full integrity of the source.
Ultra-Precise Timing for Unmatched Musical Flow
Precision clocking is at the core of the N50’s musical performance: ,/p>
- OCXO Clock with FPGA Control: A high-stability OCXO clock, controlled by a dedicated FPGA, delivers ultra-low jitter and precise timing.
- External Clock Input: For even greater precision, the N50 supports an external master clock — ideal for high-precision systems.
- Dual Supreme Toroidal Transformers with Multi-Layer Filtering
- To achieve the cleanest possible power delivery to the audio block, the N50 is equipped with two laboratory-selected, high-inductance toroidal transformers.
- Each transformer is vacuum-encapsulated and epoxy-filled within a polished stainless-steel enclosure, ensuring maximum isolation and durability.
- Multi-layer AC and DC filtering further eliminates power-line noise, providing a pristine foundation for uncompromised sonic performance.
