exaSound Audio e20 MkII

可播DSD 256 (11.2896MHz)，太酷了，不過好像沒這種錄音ㄟ............



exaSound Audio Design announces today’s launch of the e20 Mk II - the first high-end DAC capable of achieving DSD playback at sampling rate of 11.2896 MHz (DSD 256).


exaSound's DAC’s have always stayed ahead of the curve, and the latest e20’s DSD 256 capability not only goes beyond the capabilities of all other DAC’s on the market today, it is ahead of current recording technology. This ensures that audiophiles will be enjoying studio master files the way they were recorded – without down-sampling or down-conversion – well into the future, without equipment upgrades.


In addition to offering the highest digital audio resolution, the e20 DAC has jitter, distortion and noise levels that are vanishingly low, creating an astonishingly clean and analog-like sound – the difference is obvious, even with an ordinary CD. Detailed measurements, specifications and subjective impressions are available at exasound.com.

Exciting, Dynamic and Transparent Sound Reproduction The e20 DAC brings music reproduced with recording studio accuracy to computer audiophiles. e20 can play any high-resolution stereo recording the way it was recorded - nothing added, nothing taken away. e20 supports PCM sampling rates from 44.1 to 384Khz at 32bit resolution, and DSD at 2.82, 5.64 and 11.28 MHz..

Designed and Built for Computer Audiophiles

DSD 2.82MHz, DSD 5.64MHz (DSD 128 Fs) and DSD 11.28MHz (DSD 256 Fs) without conversion to PCM 384kHz/ 32bit maximum PCM sampling rate. DXD 352.8kHz master files are reproduced with remarkable bit-perfect low-jitter accuracy. ES9018 Sabre32 jitter-cancelling reference DAC chip from ESS Technologies. Asynchronous USB Interface eliminates jitter caused by unstable computer timing. OS X and Windows ASIO custom high-performance drivers. Automatic sampling rate switching. 384 kHz software upsampling. 0.13 ps master clock. Jitter minimization is achieved by using 3 three precision oscillators. 11 power filtering stages minimize noise, jitter and channel crosstalk. Galvanic isolation between the USB subsystem and the DAC circuits eliminates noise caused by ground loops and blocks computer-originated interferences. Second generation headphone amplifier that can bring the best out of the most accurate headphones.. Simultaneously driven, gold plated balanced (XLR), and unbalanced (RCA) line outputs. Two S/PDIF inputs provide jitter reduction and superb D/A conversion when used with CD transports. The e20 DAC can be programmed to work with most IR remote controls.
