totaldac d1-CD transport

2025-04-282025-04-28 press release

Saint-Ouen-des-Alleux, France | 2025 – The d1-CD is a CD transport made to be an absolute reference in term of digital source, feeding a Totaldac DAC or any other DAC. The d1-CD uses a today’s Austrian CD-PRO8 mechanism and inherits all the research that went into developing Totaldac DACs, reclockers and streamers:oscillators, specific clock distribution, specific spdif generator, massive copper plate, anti-vibration feet, ground and earth distribution, electromagnetic and mechanical damping, live-power transformer, specific power supply filtering. All the fine-tuning was done on Totaldac’s top-of-the-range system and also in comparison…

Totaldac d1-digital-live

2024-12-092024-12-09 press release

Saint-Ouen-des-Alleux, France | 2024 – The d1-digital-live and d1-AES-live are a new concept of reclocker. Them aim at improving the sound of any transport. Here is the difference between the d1-digital-live and the d1-AES-live:-The d1-digital-live embeds 4 inputs among which the very best USB input ever made including the live-clocking option, new oscillators and the self powered USB board.-The d1-AES-live has only AES-EBU as input, and no remote control is needed. It is just an AES-EBU cleaner. “To see how much the d1-streamer-sublime was adding to this delightful illusion, I…

Totaldac d1-triunity DAC/Streamer

2023-02-132023-02-13 press release

Saint-Ouen-des-Alleux, France | 2023 – The d1-triunity benefits from the new Totaldac “unity” DAC architecture, with about 290 components upgraded or added to the electronic boards.The d1-triunity is a d1-unity but with 3 R2R ladders per channel instead of one, giving a lower noise and the real scale of each instrument.The “unity” architecture allows a better clock distribution, a lower jitter, a lower R2R power supply rail impedance and a lower noise in the digital section.The R2R ladder resistors are still the famous naked Vishay foil.The output stage is also…

Totaldac d1-unity DAC

2023-01-162023-01-16 press release

Saint-Ouen-des-Alleux, France | 2023 – The d1-unity benefits from the new Totaldac “unity” DAC architecture, with about 150 components upgraded or added to the electronic boards.The “unity” architecture allows a better clock distribution, a lower jitter, a lower R2R power supply rail impedance and a lower noise in the digital section. The R2R ladder resistors are still the famous naked Vishay foil.The output stage is also fully new, in terms of components and in terms of schematics, and using discrete components exclusively.This new output stage produced a 3.5V unbalanced signal…
