DAC Chip
You may not even realise it, but most of us use a digital-to-analogue converter (commonly known as a DAC) daily. Built into your computers, tablets and smartphones, a DAC is fundamental to unlocking the convenience of digital music. Any device that acts as a digital sound source will need a DAC to convert digital audio to analog. A DAC converts the digital information stored in “0s and 1s” into an analog signal that's passed to speakers or headphones and ultimately our ear. In short, DACs play a large part in making digital music hearable. 

While this technical process is undoubtedly impressive, the DAC embedded into your smartphones or laptops is nowhere good enough to listen to your favourite music recordings in high quality. So, if you want to listen to music in high quality, an external DAC is essential to allow headphones or speakers to perform at their potential. An external DAC, first and foremost, will improve audio quality dramatically.

FEATURES OCXO AND ADAPTIVE FIFO BUFFER RECLOCKING FOR ACCURATE SOUND REPRODUCTION

The DENAFRIPS Terminator plus 12th DAC features OCXO and Adaptive FIFO Buffer Reclocking to help reproduce accurate sound. The OCXO (Oven-Controlled Crystal Oscillators) module physically connects the two boards, and its R-2R ladder network arrays and Digital Processor Board are isolated. The physical isolation yields even lowered noise floor, achieving a higher signal-to-noise ratio. The DENAFRIPS Terminator plus 12th hosts dual OCXO operating at 45.1584Mhz, 49.152Mhz - 1024x of the based sampling rate of 44.1kHz and 48kHz. Encapsulated in a metal casing located at the centre of the DAC, these OCXOs offer ultra-low phase noise and ultra-accuracy. The dual OCXO is powered by the completely redesigned power supply circuitry (encapsulated, shielded, underneath the main boards), supplying a constant current to the OCXO. The adequate power reserves ensure the linearity and stability of the OCXO. The DENAFRIPS approach to address the jitters issue by FIFO Buffer Reclocking. The adaptive FIFO buffer store the source digital audio data in the memory. These data are read from the memory using the ultra-low phase noise, ultra-accuracy OCXO, located right in the DAC. This technology is close to perfection, especially so with the local OCXO. The jitter is minimal, without any hiss or noise floor.
