"Proprietary impedance matching circuits for AES/EBU (110ohm), Coaxial (75ohm)
digital outputs applies the specially designed pulse transformers for each AES/EBU
and Coaxial outputs to further isolated interference from Trends UD-10 to the external
Digital to Analog Converters(DAC). The most pure, accurate, standard digital signal
is then regenerated with minimum interference and jitter. It is a very dynamic
way to convert your computer (Desktop, Laptop etc.) to a first class CD Transport",
Trends Audio's chief designer Ricky Leung said, " With proprietary dual power
regulation circuits design (normal implementations are just directly apply 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. The Dual regulated powers
are supplied to digital circuits and analog circuits individually".

Trends UD-10 makes the PC or Mac behave like a high-end CD Player. Trends UD-10
and PC or Mac combination provides better sound quality, larger storage capacity
and a more user-friendly interface than most standard CD players. The computer
hard disk is far superior to a CD transport, no matter the speed, stability,
error correction or jitter reduction. Audiophiles can use Trends UD-10 USB audio
converter to listen to their entire music collection from the PC or Mac, regardless
of whether they were originally downloaded on their computer or purchased on CD.
Also, it 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. It effectively reduce interference between digital signals and analog signals.
