DESCRIPTION
Premium DDC Engineered With Award Winning Technology
The Denafrips HERMES is a premium Digital To Digital Converter (DDC). It took about 3 years to perfect the development and it leverages the technologies found in Denafrips 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. Essentially, the HERMES is trickled down from the Gaia DDC.
Pristine Sound With Ultra Low Noise Floor
The Denafrips HERMES packs more than 8 sets of Ultra Low Noise, Precision Linear Power Regulars along with an oversized O-Core Transformer. This design choice delivers clean power to the digital circuitry effortlessly, resulting in clean sound.
Expanded Connectivity - USB + SPDIF
The Denafrips HERMES is not limited to just processing USB signals. The HERMES 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 the harmful jitter noise. The use of OCXO plays an important role here.
Best In Class 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. HERMES is probably the best companion that works with most DAC brands & models in the market. Set it up in your system and hear the difference.
Black Coloured Body, Aluminium + Metal Alloy Build
The front panel of Denafrips HERMES is cast in aluminium and the chassis is made of metal alloy. This makes the device super sturdy and resistant to external interference. The device is available in only black colour.
