TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRICAL SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPARATUS TO RAIN OR MOISTURE. Clean only with a dry cloth. Do not place flammable material on top of or beneath the component. All PS Audio components require adequate ventilation at all times during operation. Rack mounting is acceptable where appropriate. Do not remove or bypass the ground pin on the end of the AC cord unless absolutely necessary to reduce hum from ground loops of connected equipment. This may cause RFI (radio frequency interference) to be induced into your playback setup. All PS products ship with a grounding type plug. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time. When making connections to this or any other component, make sure all components are off. Turn off all systems’ power before connecting the PS Audio component to any other component. Make sure all cable terminations are of the highest quality.

  • The New Reference Dedicated to Detail
    SA-10 SUPER AUDIO CD PLAYER the new reference dedicated to detail For many years, the Marantz Reference Series of MA-9, SC-7 and SA-7 has set the standards for playback and amplification: not only does it draw on all the expertise the company has developed over decades, it’s also the embodiment of the thinking underpinning every product the company makes, summed up in the simple phrase ‘because music matters’. Now Marantz is challenging its own Reference Series with the introduction of the Premium 10 Series – products designed to create a new reference through new design and engineering. Comprising the SA-10 SACD/CD Player and matching PM-10 integrated amplifier, this new series sees a complete re-invention of the design principles behind the company’s statement products. The player and amplifier are the result of an extensive research, development and – of course – listening process, leading to the incorporation of new thinking and new architectures alongside established Marantz technologies and strengths. All of this has targeted one very clear aim – the best possible reproduction of music, from CD quality all the way up to the latest ultra-high-resolution formats. because music matters 3 SUPER AUDIO CD PLAYER SA-10 SUPER AUDIO CD PLAYER Reference class Super Audio CD player with USB DAC, digital inputs and unique Marantz Musical Mastering technology The SA-10 is an exceptional player of both CD and SACD discs, but can also play high-resolution At a glance music stored on computer-burned discs, as well as being a high-end digital to analog converter for • All-new SACD-M3 transport mechanism computer-stored music.

  • Frequently Asked Questions About the DVRA1000 • Updated May 26, 2005
    Frequently Asked Questions about the DV­RA1000 • Updated May 26, 2005 Q: What is DSD? A: Direct Stream Digital is a digital format devised by Sony for the Super Audio CD player. It plays audio at 2.822MHz, or 64 times the rate of a traditional 44.1KHz CD. It is a 1­bit signal, unlike the 16­bit signal of a CD. Many audiophiles agree that DSD has the best sound quality of any digital format, and better than any analog format as well. Q: Does the DV­RA1000 record Super Audio CD or DVD­Audio discs? A: No. It records audio files that are ideal for mastering to DVD­Audio (DVD­A) or Super Audio CD (SACD). However, discs recorded in the DV­RA1000 cannot be played in a SACD or DVD­A player. Q: Does it play SACD or DVD­A discs? A: No, it will play DV­RA1000 discs or CDs. Q: Can I record and play back CDs? A: Yes, the DV­RA1000 records standard CDs. Q: Does it record DVD Video files that I can play in a DVD player? A: No, there is no video on the unit and DV­RA1000 discs can't be played in a DVD player. Q: What can I do with the discs? A: The discs can be played in any computer with a DVD­ROM drive capable of playing DVD+RW discs. It creates UDF discs, a standard format read by virtually all computer platforms, including Mac, Windows and Linux. The files recorded are Broadcast Wave (.WAV) or DSDIFF (.DFF) files.

  • DSD – the New Addiction by Andreas Koch
    DSD – the new Addiction By Andreas Koch Abstract A new drug – no, but a new “can’t-be-without-it-anymore” audio format bursting into our listening rooms. Direct Stream Digital (DSD) actually has been around for a while already, but it has been so married to a physical media, SACD, that it has yet to receive the attention from audiophiles that it deserves. It is only recently with the growing interest in downloading high resolution audio via the internet that DSD surged to the surface of news coverage. What were compelling reasons to use this encoding scheme for SACD over 10 years ago are now becoming convenient truths for the new era of high resolution internet audio. This paper explains the background and nature of DSD and what might happen to it in the near future. What is DSD? The term Direct Stream Digital (DSD) was coined by Sony and Philips when they jointly launched the SACD format. It is nothing else than processed Delta-Sigma modulation first developed by Philips in the 1970’s. Its first wide market entry was not until later in the 1980’s when it was used as an intermediate format inside A/D and D/A converter chips. Oversampled ADC Oversampled DAC Analog Analog Digital Digital Analog Delta-Sigma DSD PCM Delta-Sigma DSD DSD Decimation Interpolation Lowpass Modulator Data Modulator DAC Filter Filter Filter Source Output DSD Data Fig. 1 Figure 1 shows how an analog source is converted to digital PCM through the A/D converter and then back again to analog via the D/A converter.

  • One-Bit Audio: an Overview
    One-bit Audio: An Overview Derk Reefman, Erwin Janssen Philips Research Laboratories, Prof. Holstlaan 4, 5656 AA Eindhoven, the Netherlands October 31, 2003 Abstract This paper presents an overview of one-bit audio processing. Several characteristics of a Sigma Delta Modulator (SDM), which currently is the most often used device to generate one-bit code, are discussed, as well as some simple design methodologies of SDMs. It is shown that one-bit audio is capable of carrying very high quality audio. The total audio production chain, from recording to replay, is displayed and its feasibility is demonstrated. Finally, some recent developments in the field of one-bit audio codecs are summarized, which show a further improvement over the already excellent audio characteristics of a Sigma Delta Modulator. 1 List of abbreviations FBSDM (distributed) Feedback Sigma Delta Modulator, sometimes also called `error feedback SDM'. FFSDM Feedforward Sigma Delta Modulator, sometimes also called `interpolative SDM' or `predictive SDM'.

Whereas CD employs (L)PCM encoding, with 16 bit wide words at a sample rate of 44.1 kS/s to store the digital representation of the audio data, the new format stores a one-bit repre- sentation of the audio at 2.8 MS/s, which is 64 times the CD data sampling rate.
