Benchmark DAC3 HGC
Slut i lager.
Benchmark DAC3 är en 2-kanals D/A-omvandlare som tar ljudet till nya höjder!
Den bygger på Benchmark's framgångsrika DAC2, men har försetts med ett nytt omvandlar-chip och har fått ännu bättre värden.
De prisbelönta DAC1 och DAC2 har ofta används dom referens när man jämför omvandlare och med DAC3 höjer man ribban ännu mer. Benchmarks omvandlare används dagligen i många av de bästa inspelningsstudiorna, masteringstudios och hos tusentals kräsna audiofiler.
DAC3 ger suveränt bra detaljåtergivning och exakt stereobild. Den innehåller an avancerad filterdesign med högt headroom och asynkront USB-interface. Alla ingångar är helt isolerade från interface-jitter tack vare Benchmarks nya UltraLock3 anti-jitter system.
Intern processering och omvandling är 32-bit, som också ger 3.5dB headroom över 0dBFS. Detta förebygger DSP överbelastning, något som lätt kan inträffa i andra omvandlare.
Fyra balanserade 32-bit D/A-omvandlare summeras för att skapa varje anaolg utsignal. Denna 4:1 summering ger 6dB brusreduktion och gör att DAC3 har industriledande prestanda.
Fjärrkontroll ingår.
