Description
- Frequency response: 1Hz - 20 khz - 2.5 dB 44.1 kHz sampling rate. 1Hz - 65 kHz - 3dB 192 kHz sampling rate. Distortion: 0.03 % THD Noise : -130 dB related to 2 Volt RMS output. Output impedance: RCA 40 Ohms XLR 80 Ohms Sampling frequency: Optical 44 - 96 kHz sampling rate . Coaxial , USB and AES/EBU: 44 - 192 kHz sampling rate. Size: 12.6" x 12.6" x 3.4" Weight: 12.1 lbs
- Our new Flagship DAC is a continuation of the theme which began with the Quad. With the Metrum Octave we doubled the dacs over and above the Quad using a total of 8 high speed dac chip-sets, 4 per channel. The result was much improved resolution with lower noise and distortion. For the Hex we have doubled the boards and improved upon these attributes even further. The Hex uses 16 of these industrial high speed dac-chipsets, 8 per channel and operates in full differential mode. In addition it has 1 x BNC coaxial, 1x RCA coaxial and 2 x optical inputs, an optional USB input module and/or AES/EBU input module is available.
- Due to fully galvanic separation of these DAC boards, three toroidal transformers are used to feed the DAC boards, control logic and USB. Consequently, frequency response, distortion and channel separation are all improved. As a result the dac sounds very close to real analogue. Input sample rates possibilities extend further than the Octave too. All inputs will handle up to 24/192, except toslink which is held to a maximum of 24/96. Outputs are both balanced and single ended. For those who want the very best performance from our fully balanced DAC's single ended outputs however, we recommend the upgraded Lundahl LL1588 transformers.
