sda 2 aK4497 Pre- & Headphone amplifier
The SDA-2 is an high-performance D/A Converter with pre-amplifier and headphone amplifier. Fully balanced design. Based on XMOS’s latest xCORE-200 series chip-set for USB Audio input and the AKM497, AKM’s third-generation DAC chip for DA conversion and the AK4118 digital audio s/pdif input receiver chip,. The STM32 main control CPU, Xilinx’s large-scale FPGA processing the clock system circuit and digital audio stream. The amplifier is desgin is a 4-way full balanced circuit. Independent discrete class A amp.
PCM supports up to 384Khz, DSD uses native direct solution technology, supports up to DSD512, and all interfaces support DSD decoding.
AKM’s flagship DAC chip, the AK4497EQ supports DSD native direct solution mode. The DSD digital stream does not pass through the internal digital filter and modulator, and works in NOS mode. PCM can also work in NOS mode, which is in line with e.g. HQPlayer design concept.
SDA-2 is the first DAC / preamp / headphone product we developed using following technologies approach:
- USB uses our first generation isolation technology: SCIT technology (Singxer capacitor isolation technique), SCIT technology is a full isolation technology (ground isolation), high-speed signal using 150Mbps isolation chip, low-speed signal using optocoupler isolation It can completely isolate the interference from the PC; the USB version of the high version can basically reach the level of the SU-1 independent digital interface.
- Source synchronization technology and FPGA shaping technology, re-shaping the isolated I2S signal; thus eliminating the additive jitter caused by the isolation chip
- The self-developed clock system uses a femtosecond crystal oscillator as the local reference clock
- Class A discrete amp circuit, full balanced amplification using 8 transistors per buffer.
