Introduction
VERITAS is Resonessence's latest Digital to Audio Convertor (DAC). It uses the second generation ESS
"PRO" series of ESS's SABRE DACS. It is the first product to market that uses the HyperStream II digital
modulator. This time it is about the sound, the results are in: 19 out of 20 audiophiles judge the sound
to be improved. VERITAS delivers this improved sound.
Overview
VERITAS accepts digital data via AES, S/PDIF (2 sources, RCA 1 & 2) , TosLink (TORX) and USB
interfaces. Over USB it uses Audio 2.0. Internally, VERITAS processes data up to 384ks/S within a 64
bit data path. VERITAS is a hardware engine – to manage noise, power consumption, clock jitter and
audio artifacts the absolute minimum of digital activity is used.
VERITAS is always-on – there is no power switch – the hardware boots-up on application of the
power. VERITAS accepts world-wide power specifications: there is no need to set 120v/240v or
similar. Always-on increases lifetime and audio quality – temperatures changes are the source of
electronic degradation, and always-on minimizes electrical and thermal stress. Despite being always-
on, VERITAS meets the most stringent EEC power limitations: a fraction of a watt is consumed when
the unit enters the sleep mode.
VERITAS delivers the Stereo analog audio output to differential XLR and single-ended RCA analog
outputs simultaneously. The Red RCA is the single-ended 2V RMS analog output to the Right Channel,
the White RCA is the single-ended 2V RMS output to the Left Channel. The male XLR output nearest
the edge of the unit, on the right when viewed from the front, is the differential 4v RMS analog
output to the Right Channel, the male XLR output nearest the center of the unit, on the left when
viewed from the front, is the is the differential 4v RMS analog output to the Left Channel.
VERITAS requires the Resonessence Audio 2.0 driver on MS Windows, on the MAC computers no
special driver is needed. Refer to the Resonessence WWW site for the Audio 2.0 driver on Windows.
Resonessence may update and improve the VERITAS software from time to time. You may check for
the updates, download and install them from the WWW site.
