DENAFRIPS TERMINATOR 15TH R-2R DAC
DIGITAL / ANALOGUE ISOLATION
The TERMINATOR 15th features complete isolation between the Digital Processing Board and the R-2R ladder network arrays. This design, physically linked by the OCXO module, minimises noise and enhances the signal-to-noise ratio.
OVEN-CONTROLLED CRYSTAL OSCILLATORS - OCXO
Equipped with dual OCXOs at 45.1584 MHz and 49.152 MHz, the TERMINATOR 15th ensures ultra-low phase noise and exceptional accuracy. These OCXOs are housed in a metal casing and powered by a specially designed, shielded power supply for optimal stability.
ADAPTIVE FIFO BUFFER RECLOCKING
The adaptive FIFO buffer stores digital audio data, which is read using the ultra-low phase noise OCXOs. This data is converted to analog signals by true balanced R-2R ladder network arrays, with high-precision resistors ensuring linearity.
HIGH PRECISION OCXO CLOCK-OUT
The Terminator 15th features a high-precision OCXO clock-out, designed to synchronise with various audio frequencies.
- Audio Frequencies: 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz
- Clock Frequencies: 22.5792 MHz, 24.576 MHz, 45.1584 MHz, 49.152 MHz
Experience unparalleled accuracy and synchronisation in your audio setup with the Terminator 15th.
THE FOUNDATION OF SUPERIOR SOUND
A dedicated Linear Power Supply Unit is encased in a robust 1.5mm thick metal alloy enclosure. An additional steel plate divider between the DAC motherboard and the PSU box enhances EMI/EMF shielding.
INNOVATIVE BOX-WITHIN-BOX DESIGN
This design eliminates issues associated with dual-box solutions, highlighting the meticulous design and attention to detail from DENAFRIPS.
