Digital processor designed for ultimate SA-CD quality. Innovative digital
signal processing technology MDSD (Multiple Double Speed DSD). Moving-average
filter circuit configured with delay and eight parallel converters achieves
straight D/A conversion of DSD signal. Seven digital inputs for enhanced
versatility.
The DC-801 showcases Accuphase´s mastery of sophisticated digital
technology and creative circuit topology. It is a digital processor designed
to realize the ultimate in SA-CD reproduction.
A new technique called MDSD (Multiple Double Speed DSD) allows straight
D/A conversion of the DSD signal. MDSD employs eight MDS++ type D/A converters
operating in parallel to reduce conversion errors to an absolute minimum
while at the same acting as a high-cut filter that removes noise in the
high-frequency range. The Direct Balanced Filter is configured with entirely
separate balanced and unbalanced signal paths, and a further refined "Ultra
Jitter-Free +" PLL circuit extracts the master clock for the D/A converter
with absolute precision. The overall result is music reproduction that
finally brings out the full sonic potential of the SA-CD format.
For connectivity to various sources, the DC-801 offers a full complement
of digital inputs: HS-Link, balanced, coaxial (3 streams), and optical
(2 streams). This allows the music data to be supplied to the processor
without any degradation in quality. Two sets of digital outputs (coaxial
and optical) let the user easily connect a digital recorder, for recording
of sources other than SA-CD. And there´s even a set of EXTERNAL DSP
input/output connectors that allows using the Digital Voicing Equalizer DG-38 for sound field processing in the digital domain.
