Trends USB Audio Converter is perfect for Computer Audio!
Hong Kong, October 26, 2006 - ITOK Media Limited 's innovative Hi-Fi
brandˇ§Trends Audio" (www.TrendsAudio.com) launched their new innovative
HiFi product to work with computer as audio source via USB connection
- Trends UD-10 USB Audio Converter .
Trends UD-10 USB Audio Converter provides 4 concurrent digital outputs
(Optical x1, Coaxial x2 (RCA/BNC) & AES/EBU x1) for connection with
external DACs. A high-quality decoded headphone output is also
Provided. You can use the bundled adaptor to plug it via RCA
interconnect cable to our Trends TA-10 Class-T Stereo Audio Amplifier
for audio playback.
" There is more and more good quality audio DACs newly released.
But, a good audio source is still difficult to find" Trends Audio's
Marketing Manager David HO said,"We developed an USB Audio Converter
UD-10, which works as an external sound card with various formats of
digital output and decoded headphone output. It effectively isolated
the serious interference from the noise within the PC case, e.g.
the high frequency data signals, the switching-mode power supply
and the FAN motors, etc.... "
On the other hand, UD-10 upgrades the PC to be a hi-end audio source.
With the good power supply handling, the high accuracy clock
and the sophisticated digital output circuit, Trends UD-10 makes
the PC to behave as a high-end CD transport to work with an external
DAC. Yet, the Trends UD-10 and PC couple provides better sound
quality, larger storage capacity and more user-friendly interfaces
than a CD transport. (Remarks: computer hard disk is far more better
than a CD pickup mechanism no matter in speed, stability, error
correction, jitter reduction. They are actually the technology of
different eras.). For circuit & function design, Trends UD-10
is much more thoughtful functions for PC user and audiophiles:
- high-end Burr Brown PCM2704 IC for USB audio conversion
- proprietary dual power regulation circuits design (normal
implementations are just directly applying the 5V USB bus power).
No matter the power is supplied from the USB bus or from external
socket, it is regulated before supply to the related ICs.
Dual regulated powers are supplied to digital circuits and
analog circuits individually.
- separated digital/analog ground. The digital GND (network) and
the analog GND (solid) is totally separated except connected via
a ferrite bread in a single point.
- 4pins high accuracy crystal clock (ˇÓ10ppm)
- applied RS422 driving IC to concurrently drive 4 groups of
balance & non-balance digital outputs. Audiophiles can compare
the differences between these digital outputs instantly or play
for the Bi-DACs or even Quad DACs.
- proprietary impedance matching circuits for AES/EBU(110ohm),
Coaxial(75ohm) digital outputs
- applied the specially designed pulse transformers for each
AES/EBU and Coaxial outputs to further isolated interference
from Trends UD-10 to the external DAC.
We applied audiophile grade materials and electronic components,
including the high-quality Japanese/Korean precise SMD resistors
and capacitors. Besides reducing the space, it also reduces the
resident inductance (relative to DIP components). The power
filtering and decoupling is using Sanyo OS-CON solid-state
electrolyte capacitors. The analog signal decoupling and coupling
are using ELNA Silmic electrolyte capacitors and WIMA MKP10 film
capacitorsˇK. The case of the device is the stylish iron-gray
whole aluminum one.
