1-Bit DLC D/A Converters
(D/A Converters with Double-Step Noise Shaping)
D/A converters are devices for transforming digital signals
into analog signals.
The D/A converter used in this player
employs an advanced 1-bit conversion system. Compared to
conventional converters, this system
has the following
advantages.
e@ Theoretically no zero cross distortion is generated.
e The system is free of non-linear distortion throughout the
frequency range.
® High-precision
operation
can
be obtained
without
adjustments.
With this type of conversion, there is no loss of m
even at minute signal levels.

ratio, low distortion and excellent
