![]() ![]() It offers neither upsampling, oversampling, or filtering, and can play PCM up to 192/24 or DSD using a discontinued Philips TDA 1543 chip. Incidentally, CAD's 1543 MK II DAC is a resistor ladder DAC, which designer Scott Berry thinks sounds more natural than sigma delta DACs. ![]() David James Bellecci, aka The SAF, thought the presentation a mite smudged, but still gave it an 8 overall because the system would be easy to work into a living space. Then again, I have far fewer setup issues in my office than anyone exhibiting in the rooms of the MOC, with their slanted ceilings and front and rear glass walls.

"It produced a disc that won an Academy Award for Technical Achievement. "In 1989, when we started Sonic Studio, Warner used this noise reduction software and it cost $125,000," he said. The new version includes multiple EQs (filter topologies) that, in Reichbach's words, "let you build some very complex EQ curves." There is also optional Dirac Live room-correction software and broadband noise reduction. The software can equalize music's entire range, if desired, before sending it along for playback. Jon Reichbach of Sonic Studio/Amarra displayed the latest Amarra sQ+ 2.3 inline DSP processor. ![]()
