Because I want to listen with a good sound, I record with DSD. As the word "high res" became commonplace, hardware such as USB DAC is overflowing, but we can not find a solution anywhere about the lack of music source to listen with that hard. Korg who has been pursuing high sound quality with DSD long before the boom now makes a new proposal. With the technology developed over many years in the development of the DS series recorder 'MR series' which is also active in harsh professional scenes and the standard software 'AudioGate' of high replay playback, the professional quality AD converter is mounted on the USB DAC, and the DSD recording system Realization. Corresponding to phono input, it is also ideal for archiving analog records. If you do not have the source you want to listen to, you can record it yourself. 1 BIT USB-DAC / ADC, DS-DAC-10R. * DSD recording is realized only with "DS-DAC-10R" and "AudioGate 4". Just connect the PC and the main unit with a USB cable. As familiar with the DS - DAC series, new high - quality sound recording function has been added to the simplest high sound quality reproduction system. For both recording and playback, 5.6 MHz for DSD, 2.8 MHz for PCM, up to 192 kHz / 24 bit for PCM format. From now on, you can not only wait for a release from the distribution site, but also record your DSD on your source and listen at any time with good sound whenever you want. * Equipped with a phono input terminal that can connect the record player directly. In recent years, the goodness of sounds not found in digital sound sources and the style of enjoying music purely have been reviewed, and analog records are again in the limelight. Meanwhile, there are many requests that you want to organize the record collection as music data and enjoy it easily. The DS - DAC - 10R is equipped with a phono input terminal and a ground terminal that can directly connect your record player. It is also easy to manage the songs on AudioGate by converting the record to high resolution data as it is with high sound quality by DSD. The input terminal also corresponds to the LINE level input of cassette deck etc. It is the system which is best for the archive of important collection. * DSD Phono Equalizer (* 1) that allows you to select a postcard / postcard. The DS-DAC-10R has a built-in DSD phono equalizer in the included software "AudioGate 4" that minimizes the influence on the original sound during equalizing processing and extracts the sound pushed in when cutting the record. In addition to the general RIAA, it is possible to correspond to five kinds of curves (* 2), not only to make a record at the time of recording, it can also be postponed to the original sound of the record board input / recorded as it is. Until now, we will approach with the latest technology to the true ability of analog record which even luxury audio equipment could not easily be drawn out. * 1. The cutting machine of analog record keeps the width of the groove widely as the sound frequency decreases, so there is a problem such that the needle can not be accurately traced and the recording time decreases as it is. Therefore, the cut record is recorded with attenuation in the low range and emphasizing the high range, and it is corrected with the curve of the inverse characteristic at the time of playback. The one that performs this correction is "phono equalizer". In addition, since the record player has a lower output level than the general audio equipment, it is necessary to amplify the input signal, and there are many equipments that also serve as the phono equalizer, but DS-DAC-10R , It amplifies amplification to analog circuitry and equalization to digital signal processing (by AudioGate 4). * 2. RIAA is a record / playback curve standard of record established by Recording Industry Association of America (America Record Association). It was standardized in 1954, but those prior to that have been used that are not uniform for each record / label. Since there is no description of the curve in the record, I do not know which curve was actually recorded, but it is said that almost all RIAA and five other curves can cover it. Please choose various curves with AudioGate 4 and enjoy the difference in sound. * Use carefully selected parts to achieve the best sound quality. As AD converter, PCM 4202 (made by TI) same as 1-BIT STUDIO recorder MR-2000S is adopted. I also stick to the same quality as the recorder that I use a lot even on a professional site. High performance parts such as OPA1662 (made by TI) and thin-film polymer multilayer capacitor (PMLCAP(R) / Rubycon) are used for the pre-stage circuit of the phono amp, making full use of the performance of the phono cartridge. Also, select the same CS4398 (made by Cirrus Logic) for the DA converter as the MR - 2000S and DS - DAC series. The DS - DAC - 10R also inherits the sound of Korg, whose motto is "to color the sound, faithfully reproduce the original sound". * It corresponds to "DSD native playback" of the DSD file of 2.8224 MHz, 5.6448 MHz. Korg has been paying attention to the high quality / goodness of the sound quality of DSD from early, and has adopted DSD for the recording format of the MR series recorder, and has earned high evaluation. Therefore, most of the DSD contents from major music distribution sites were converted to DSD by MR series. It is not an exaggeration to say that DS-DAC-10R "reproduces the most faithfully the delivered DSD content" by "DSD native playback of DSD data" that maximizes the quality of the DSD data. * Simple and stylish design. The DS-DAC-10R imagines what you will receive in addition to your audio system, a die-cast body with a sense of quality, the surface is a simple design with only headphone volume / terminal. The LED that shines in the volume / knob section functions as an indicator that indicates playback format display or recording. In addition, it has become a high quality design sticking to not only the inside but also the visible part such as the copper plated board of the rear panel and the gold-plated terminals. * Can be connected to iAudioGate for playback (* 3). Playable in combination with iAudioGate for high res music player for iPhone. More easily than a PC, you can connect the iPhone when you come up and enjoy playing the record archive (* 4). * 3. Power supply with USB hub with power supply is necessary, using Apple compatible connection kit / adapter. * 4. Phono equalizer function is not installed in iAudioGate. * Specification Number of channels: 2 input format (USB) DSD: 2.8224 MHz / 5.6448 MHz, 1 bit PCM: 44.1 kHz / 48 kHz / 88.2 kHz / 96 kHz / 176.4 kHz / 192 kHz, 16 bits / 24 bits Host interface: USB 2.0 (high speed ) Audio Driver: ASIO 2.1, WDM, Core Audio Indicator: Ring LED Indicator (Sampling frequency and REC status shown in color) Power: USB bus - Power (5 V 500 mA) Power consumption: 2.5 W LINE OUT L / R: RCA pin jack (unbalanced) PHONES: diameter 6.3 mm stereo phone jack, load impedance 16 ohm or more, maximum output 70 mW + 70 mW @ 32 ohm LINE IN, PHONO L / R: RCA pin jack, input impedance 47 Kohm (LINE) / 50 Kohm USB form: USB cable Operating environment: Windows: Microsoft Windows 7 (32 bit, 64 bit) USB type: Windows: Microsoft Windows 7 (32 bit, 64 bit) , Microsoft Windows 8.1 (32 bit, 64 bit), Microsoft Windows 10 (32 bit, 64 bit) Mac OS: Mac OS X 10.8 - 10.11 BW 7 BW 7 B W 7 B W 7 B W 7 B W 7 B W 7 B W 7 B W 7 B W 7 B W 7 B W 7 * "DSD" is a trademark * All product names or standard names are trademarks or registered trademarks of related companies.
