ESS Technology SABRE32 Ultra DAC / Digital Filter (ES9016) working in 32-bit Hyperstream™ to achieve unprecedented jitter immunity and low-level linearity via a patented Time Domain Jitter Eliminator |
True 32-bit asynchronous Digital-to-Analog converter |
Digital Audio Signal Processing with M-AJiC32 (MOON Asynchronous Jitter Control in 32-bit mode) |
Our own “Dual Jitter Control System” producing a virtually jitter-free digital signal below 1 picosecond for ultra-low distortion, and ensuring compatibility with virtually any connected digital device |
Eight (8) digital inputs (AES/EBU x 2, S/PDIF x 3, TosLink x 2 and USB x 1) allowing for a connection to virtually any digital source, along with one (1) S/PDIF digital output |
Optional MiND (MOON intelligent Network Device) module (the 9th input) via Wi-Fi or Ethernet input for multi-room streaming |
Optional variable analog outputs (balanced & single-ended) using M-eVOL volume circuit, originally
developed for the MOON Evolution series. Accessible using the remote control, this volume operates
in 1.0dB increments. M-eVOL is based on a resistive array configuration with no sonic degradation of the audio signal at all volume settings |
Full digital monitor loop on S/PDIF to accommodate external devices such as a room
correction component or digital recorder |
Highly advanced separate digital and analog power supplies, each using a toroidal transformer
and 11 stages of voltage regulation |
USB input with galvanic isolation which eliminates all ground current (i.e. no electrical connection)
between the USB device (computer, music server, etc.) and the 380D, preserving the accuracy of
the audio signal |
The entire analog stage is a fully balanced differential circuit for increased dynamic range and
headroom, higher resolution, as well as improved signal-to-noise ratio |
Advanced analog signal path using a DC servo circuit and proprietary 18dB/octave analog filter |
12 Volt trigger output for remote operations |
RS-232 port for (i) full unsolicited bidirectional feedback and (ii) firmware updates |
IR input for external control |
SimLink™ controller port for 2-way communications with other compatible MOON components |
4-Layer printed circuit boards with pure copper tracings for a much shorter signal path; This results in greater sonic accuracy and a dramatically improved signal-to-noise ratio |
Rigid chassis construction to minimize the effects of external vibrations |
Accurate matching of finest high quality electronic components in a symmetrical circuit design |
Includes CRM-2 remote control. |
