Which
d/a converter? Which preamp? Which headphone
amplifier? These are questions that popped up many times in our
"audio" life. "Integration" is what spells our friendly
dragon as a response. One box instead of three? Let's see why.
The
unique digital processing architecture makes the Black Dragon
pretty unique at this price level. Instead of using off-the shelf chips for
internal circuitry, dedicated hardware units are built inside a FPGA-chip to
form together a powerful and custom front-end to the dac chips. This include
digital receivers sampling input signals at 500 MHz , the clock system able to
reduce timing errors to sub-picosecond level, the powerful digital filter made
with 15 DSPs, the user interface.
Femtovox
clock system allows jitter reduction as low as 300 fS right
before entering dacs. For a detailed explanation about this technology please
consult the Black Dragon white paper.
The
custom hybrid-phase digital filter is a
high-performance upsampling block for conditioning the incoming signals. It is
especially effective on standard resolution digital signals, like 44.1/48 KHz.
With a large number of taps and a carefully adjusted response, the extension
and atmosphere of the recordings are virtually enhanced prior to conversion.
The filter can be enabled or disabled from the menu interface. For filter
detailed performance consult the technology paper.
True
dual balanced conversion (2 x AK4396) is a
perfect complement to the digital input stage. Each dac chip is processing one
channel in fully balanced mode which leads to better analog performance and
noise rejection.
Driverless
USB input for Mac and Linux is natively capable of resolutions of 24bit/384 KHz
sample rate and DSD64 /128. For Windows, ASIO and WASAPI/KS drivers are
available under the download section. Asynchronous operation means that the dac
dictates the USB audio transfers after its master clock and not the PC,
resulting in minimal jitter.
Fully
discrete , true balanced, zero-feedback class A output stage /
headphone amplifier section will drive without problems from low to high
impedance headphones.
The
low noise LNS (linear power supply) - all power supplies inside are
linear type. There are a total of 11 linear stabiliser IC's, 8 of them are low
noise. The total filtering capacity exceeds 50.000 uF. The power supply is
serviced by 2 separate toroidal transformers.
User
convenience – there are 5 digital inputs
available: USB, spdif, aes/ebu, i2s and optical toslink. Balanced, single ended
and headphone outputs are present. The large display is easily readable from
the listening point.
Easy
firmware upgrade – the Black Dragon can be updated
in the field by easily playing a special update track via the USB input. Any
firmware updates will be available under the download section.
