General
Converting digital data into analogue audio is a critical process. After all, it determines the level of authenticity and dynamics of your sound. Standard chips (on-board audio) are not always capable of producing a dynamically rich and balanced sound, but the Korg DS-DAC-100 certainly is. This high-grade DA converter imports audio data from your Windows computer or laptop or Mac using a USB 2.0 interface. Both DSD and PCM audio are flawlessly converted into a stable analogue output signal.
Korg DS-DAC-100: converter
At the heart of the DS-DAC-100 is a Cirrus Logic CS4398 converter, which processes audio data up to 192 kHz in real-time. Multi-bit Delta-Sigma modulation counters distortion that's caused by hardware errors. Once the DS-DAC-100 has processed the signal, you can enjoy your music via its headphone, RCA or XLR outputs. Combine the converter with Korg's AudioGate 3 software, and you've got yourself a refined signal path that is bound to delight any true audiophile. The Korg DS-DAC-100 is powered via its USB bus, and looks great on your desktop or next to your hifi setup.
DSD: discover new details
Direct Stream Digital (DSD) was developed by Sony and Philips for the Super Audio CD. At 1 bit, the sample frequency of DSD is 64 times as high as that of the CD: 2,8224 MHz versus 44.1 kHz. This Korg converter even supports double-rate DSD, 5,6448 MHz. With a little help from AudioGate 3, you can convert your music collection to DSD in real-time. Connect your trusted audio player to the DS-DAC-100 and you might be in for a surprise - thanks to the high audio resolution, there's much more room for detail, so you'll be able to discover your favourite songs all over again. In short, the Korg DS-DAC-100 is a fantastic asset for anyone who wants to enjoy their digital audio in all its glory.
