DV2
Integrated D/A Converter
DV2 integrated D/A Converter
The DV2 builds on EMM Labs’ ground breaking technology used in flagship, multi-award winning DA2 converter by integrating EMM’s high resolution volume control system (VControl™) into discrete, single bit converter.
VControl™ maintains the input signal without re-quantization allowing for complete transparency at any volume setting, wide attenuation range, and no loss of audio resolution.
16xDSD MDAC2™ and MDAT2™ DSP
MDAC2™ is the worlds first fully discrete single-bit D-to-A converter with an internal conversion rate of 1024fs (16xDSD) and is completely free of inherent non-linearity that plagues every mass market chip created to date.
MDAT2™ DSP has been refined and updated to synergistically work with the MDAC2™. The MDAT2™ DSP performs real-time transient detection in addition to processing and up-conversion of all incoming audio before being sent to the MDAC2™ for conversion.
Specification----Key Features
USB Isolation, MFAST™ and MCLK2™
TThe USB interface includes EMM’s proprietary hardware galvanic isolation. In combination with MFAST™, high-speed asynchronous jitter removal technology and and MCLK2™ custom built clock, jitter is completely removed from the conversion process.
The DV2 features a multitude of inputs and support for PCM up to 24bit/192kHz, DSD, 2xDSD, DXD, and for the first time in any EMM Labs product, MQA® via USB.
