ABSOLUTE DAC:
DAC section: 8 parallel channels
- The highest performing DAC to date, discreet power through 16 separate power regulators in the circuit. Direct coupled output with no capacitors in the output stage. The sonic result is no longer a lossy simulation requiring brainpower to cover for what is not there: you are there.
Clock Oscillators: Getting the Music in Phase
The Absolute uses three top-of-the-line femto ultra-low jitter and ultra-low phase noise clocks. Each clock has its own dedicated power line. This ensures the signal is phase correct and precise.
Proprietary Ideon Triple Distillation: Noise Elimination
The Ideon Triple Distillation USB input comprises a proprietary three-stage noise eradication circuit that eliminates digital noise from the input signal. Figuratively speaking, we have declared war on linear & non-linear distortion and noise! Did we mention a state of the art -140dB signal to noise ratio, the highest in the market?
Ideon’s Massive 17-Stage Ultra-Low Noise Power Reservoir
The importance of stable, abundant, and clean power is touted all over audio circles, but at Ideon we take things to another level: we use six separate stages in order to achieve unparalleled clarity and linearity.
We choose top-level componentry: 17 state-of-the-art regulators with extremely low tolerance rating, and over 80 audio-grade capacitors with silk-fibre plate separators specifically designed for audio applications. These components display higher propagation speed and low esr resulting in smoother sound without loss of detail.
The sonic result is unparalleled restitution in clarity, midrange richness, musical energy, and dynamics. The music flows…
The Quad Output Principle
The Absolute DAC’s balanced output has four analogue output channels, no capacitors in the signal path and dedicated power supplies. The output energy and strength can drive virtually any load!
Full Isolation Principle
The Absolute’s control board is fully isolated from the rest of the operating system. It has its own power supply line and discrete circuit. Please note the transformer used only to power the Absolute’s microcontroller & display: is used as the main transformer in many high-grade devices!
