Source frequency analysis comparison
Noise Detected during Balanced Output Noise Removed After Detection Noise Removal Complete DSD Playback support High-Definition Digital Audio Formats and DSD Playback support with the AK120 TITAN
In common digital audio recording, PCM(Pulse Code Modulation) is the Y-axis of a sine wave is divided into 65000 (16bit) to 1,670 million(24bit) and the X-axis is divided into 44,000(44.1kHz) to 192,000(192kHz) parts. When comparing a standard PCM digital recording to the DSD approach, the digital signal is transformed by Y-axis of the DSD sine waves that are measured at single bit(1bit, 0s and 1s) sequence and is divided 2.8 million(2.8MHz) to 5.6 million(5.6MHz) times into the X-axis.
In general, when comparing SACD and PCM 16bit/44.1kHz Audio CDs, SACDs are recorded in frequency ranges up to 100kHz and greatly expand the dynamic range over 120dB while maintaining clarity of sound that a traditional PCM audio signal cannot reproduce. In order to listen to SACD, a dedicated SACD player is needed, but the AK120 TITAN brings SACD audio format playback to a portable player with DSD audio support. Enjoy the sound of DSD without a separate SACD player with the AK120 TITAN. (AK120 TITAN supports the .dff and .dsf DSD formats up to 2.8MHz resolution.)
PCM DSD Meets the Standards of Hi-Fi Audio
Equipped with the Wolfson 8740 DAC AK120 TITAN DAC & Amp Creates a Dual Mono System that separates Left & Right Audio Channels
When the analog audio signal passes through the dual Wolfson WM8740 DAC, not only does the AK120 TITAN use the Ultralow Distortion and Noise Technology, but executes the optimal digital noise reduction technology combined into the analog amp.
The dual DAC built-in to the AK120 TITAN forms a dual-monaural audio ecosystem that brings wider soundstage, channel separation, and an overall richer sound.
24-bit/192kHz, SNR, THD+N → Hi-Fi Audio Spec External DAC Support Use the AK120 TITAN as an external DAC through the USB port.
