Technical Audio Devices Laboratories Co, Ltd. (TADL) has launched the high-end audio Evolution Series with innovative technology, focusing on uncompromising manufacturing. The Evolution series SACD / CD players and D/A converters rely on various technologies, including the newly developed third-generation USB module to improve sound quality.

KEY FEATURES

1) Uses newly developed third-generation USB module.

Equipped with a USB terminal compatible with USB Audio Class 2.0 and uses an independently developed asynchronous USB transmission engine. By controlling the transmission status with this device, the digital signal received from a PC, etc. can be received accurately. In addition, since it is read by a high-precision clock, it becomes an extremely pure, jitter-free digital signal. This third-generation USB module not only improves sound quality but also supports DSD256 signals (11.2 MHz) by revising the internal FPGA circuitry. The operation delay is greatly reduced and the distortion characteristic of a low level is improved.

2) Equipped with “ultra-high C / N * 2 master clock UPCG * 3”.

Equipped with “ultra-high C / N master clock UPCG”, which is equivalent to the high-end model “TAD -D600”. Based on the high-C / N technology used in high-speed digital communication base stations, the high-purity master clock, repeatedly developed by tracking the physical characteristics and listening, limits the reproducibility of the signals recorded on the disk and the input signals. Increase to. In addition, a newly developed high-purity C/N clock circuit is installed, which is responsible for each of the digital input/output circuits and the USB engine, enabling digital transmission with higher purity.

* 2 C / N: carrier-to-noise ratio.

* 3 UPCG: Ultra-high Precision Crystal generator

3) High purity power supply circuit

By directly extending the internal winding of the power transformer, the number of contacts with the lead wire is reduced as much as possible, and high purity is aimed at. In addition, the non-magnetic coating and OFC pure copper are used as the direct wire terminal, PCB mounting terminal, and fixing screw, thoroughly eliminating magnetic distortion. Besides, the 6mm thick brass base is used as the mounting base for the power transformer, and the unnecessary vibration of the power transformer is suppressed.

4) A low center of gravity structure that suppresses the influence of external vibration and a newly developed isolator.

A thorough vibration damping structure is realized by lowering the center of gravity using an 8mm thick solid aluminum chassis, which suppresses the influence of external vibration and heavy parts on the bottom. The newly developed isolator clarifies the load point, reduces the influence of vibration from the base plate, improves isolation performance, and enables clearer sound reproduction.

5) Easy and high-quality system configuration is possible by installing the volume function for LINE output.

Equipped with high-quality volume function for LINE output. You can connect it directly to a power amplifier and configure a simple, high-quality audio system without using a preamplifier. It supports a variety of media and can be used as a digital media center where you can enjoy the high-purity sound quality. In addition, “TAD -DA1000TX” is equipped with a headphone jack and independent headphone volume.

6) Equipped with a unique CD mechanism with excellent high precision charging and low noise (“TAD -D1000TX” only).

In addition to smooth and high-precision charging, the unit is equipped with a unique CD mechanism that minimizes the influence of external vibration on the servo system. Made of aluminum, the disk tray ensures low vibration and high rigidity. The use of a black material prevents diffuse reflection of laser light and improves reading accuracy.
