INTRODUCTION

Inspiring the joy of listening

Technical Audio Devices Laboratories, Inc. (TADL) grew from the spirit to discover technologies to perfectly recreate the pure
sound of live performances with uncompromising craftsmanship. We have inherited our philosophy from Bart Locanthi—
recognized across the globe as the ultimate sound technologist—who believed that genuine technology is true to the basics
and that genuine technology places greater importance on sound quality than on technology for its own sake.
At TADL, we are honing our technology to create equipment that reproduces musical sounds that evoke both the energy and
impact of live music.

Features

Adopting the newly developed 3rd generation USB engine
The operating delay of the FPGA internal circuit was significantly reduced, the low-level distortion characteristic was improved
and moreover the PCM signal responds to the sampling frequency up to 384 kHz and the bit count up to 32 bits. The DSD
signal DoP system transmission responds to the maximum sampling frequency of 11.2 MHz.
Equipped with the line output volume as the digital media center
As the line output volume is mounted, a simple system can be configured only by connecting a power amplifier. With a variety
of media supported, it is recommended to use this device as a digital media center dedicated to pursuing the pleasure of
enjoying the finest sound quality. The unit is also furnished with an independent headphones volume controller.
Ultra-high C/N* ratio Master Clock featuring UPCG**
Reduction of the total amount of master clock jitter has been previously suggested as a means of attaining even higher levels
of sound quality, TAD Labs has taken this a step further, focusing on reduction of jitter in the low-frequency sideband ranges
relative to the center frequencies, and to that end, a new Ultra-high-Precision Crystal Generator (UPCG) has been developed.
Based on technologies developed for high-speed digital base-station relay facilities, the master clock with its dedicated
oscillators and high-purity conductivity deliver the ultimate performance demanded by a CD player, allowing it to reproduce to
perfection the signals engraved on the disc.
*C/N: Carrier-to-Noise ratio
**UPCG: Ultra-high-Precision Crystal Generator
Twin Differential D/A Converters
Twin Burr-Brown digital-audio converters are connected in parallel for improved audio performance in all metrics, including
S/N ratio, linearity, dynamic range, and distortion. These features allow even delicate audio signals to be played back faithfully,
creating a greater degree of breadth in musical reproduction.
Power unit
This unit has the analog unit and digital unit, each of which is equipped with a specialized large-scale toroidal transformer
characterized by high response performance, combining strong dynamism and low noise.
High-Rigidity Construction with Low Center of Gravity
Highly rigid aluminum chassis suppresses effects from external vibrations. Placement of the massive heavy base has been
designed to lower the center of gravity, thus further reducing vibrations. These design elements have made it possible to
reproduce music signals with great stability while avoiding the vibration caused by speaker pressure and other sources.
High-precision D/A converter
Signal conversion is performed through a high-precision D/A converter and sampling rate converter, with reclocking
performed by an ultra-high-purity master clock.
ISO mount technology
This unit has adopted an insulator with the spike structure inherited from the reference series.
Thus, another level of vibration control was implemented.
Experience the fusion of a high-dimensional sound image and acoustic field with unparalleled resolution.
