DESCRIPTION
Top Of The Line DDC Embedded With Proprietary FPGA DSP Processing
The DENAFRIPS GAIA is a flagship Digital To Digital Converter (DDC). It took about 3 years to perfect the development of the device and it leverages the technologies found in the companies award-winning DAC, namely, Proprietary FPGA DSP Processing, FIFO Buffer & Reclocking. Along with Industry Leading USB Audio Interface Solution via STM32F466 Advanced AMR based MCU.
State Of The Art Circuit Design For Clean Sound
DENAFRIP GAIA embeds more than 8 sets of Ultra Low Noise, Precision Linear Power Regulars along with an oversized O-Core Transformer. This design decision delivers clean power to the digital circuitry effortlessly.
Connectivity Options Including USB + SPIDF
The team at DENAFRIPS decided not to limit the GAIA to processing only the USB signal. They raised the bar. The GAIA accepts USB and SPDIF (Coax, TOSLink, AES/EBU) inputs. These digital signal data-streams will be FIFO buffered and reclocked via the Precision Oven Controlled Crystal Oscillator OCXO. This process eliminates the jitter to a negligible level, ensuring the digital output signal is free from harmful jitter noise. The use of OCXO plays an important role here.
Advanced Converters For Greater Sound Fidelity
If you are on the lookout for a Digital to Digital Converter that can potentially improve the sonic performance of your system, look no further. GAIA is the best companion that works with most DAC brands & models in the market. Set it up in your system to hear the difference.
