ℹ Product Information
The PS Audio PerfectWave DAC represents a significant advancement in digital-to-analog conversion technology. Unlike conventional DACs that rely on off-the-shelf chips, the PerfectWave DAC employs a custom-designed FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array) to process audio signals. This innovative approach allows for real-time, high-resolution digital signal processing, resulting in unparalleled audio fidelity.
Key Features:
-
Custom FPGA Architecture: The heart of the PerfectWave DAC is its FPGA, programmed with proprietary code to perform digital signal processing. This design minimizes jitter and ensures precise timing, leading to a more accurate and natural sound reproduction.
-
High-Resolution Audio Support: The DAC supports a wide range of sample rates and bit depths, including PCM up to 352.8 kHz and DSD up to 128. This versatility ensures compatibility with various high-resolution audio formats.
-
Multiple Digital Inputs: Equipped with multiple digital inputs, including I²S, coaxial S/PDIF, TOSLINK, USB, and XLR (AES/EBU), the PerfectWave DAC offers flexibility to connect to various audio sources.
-
Analog Outputs: The DAC provides both unbalanced RCA and balanced XLR outputs, allowing for seamless integration with a variety of audio equipment and systems.
-
Network Bridge Slot: The inclusion of a network bridge slot enables future upgrades and connectivity options, ensuring the DAC remains adaptable to evolving audio technologies.
-
Precision Output Stage: The analog output stage utilizes high-current, high-speed analog amplifiers to drive a passive audio transformer, producing double-rate DSD signals. This design contributes to the DAC's exceptional dynamic range and low distortion.
-
Elegant Design: Housed in a sleek, brushed aluminum chassis with a minimalist front panel, the PerfectWave DAC not only performs exceptionally but also complements any high-end audio system aesthetically.
Whether you're an audiophile seeking the ultimate in digital audio performance or a professional requiring precise and reliable digital-to-analog conversion, the PS Audio PerfectWave DAC offers an exceptional listening experience that faithfully reproduces the nuances and details of your music.
