2.6 PROPRIETARY R-2R AND DSD DECODING ARCHITECTURE
The Terminator is equipped with 26Bit R-2R DAC to decode PCM data stream and 32 steps
FIR analogue filters hardware decoder to decode DSD data stream. These designs
guaranteed the PCM format can be perfectly decoded, at the same time, the DSD format
can be perfectly decoded as well. It is rare in the currently market that a R-2R DAC can
hardware decode both the PCM and DSD formats.
2.7 DAC ARCHITECTURE
This is the simplified architecture diagram. All digital input data are fed and buffered
through the on-board FPGA DSP board FIFO high speed RAM buffer.
These data stored in the internal high-speed FIFO, are retrieved via the local CRYSTEK CCHD-
957 FEMTO, processed, and reconstructed, for the final stage Discrete R-2R for DA
conversion.
The reliance of digital input source clock quality is less critical. This made DENAFRIPS DAC
sounds good with literally any source.
As in all audiophile high standard, a good source quality does make a different to the sound
quality. But we'd like to stress that, don't lose sleep over the technical aspect of the DAC.
Just sit back, and... enjoy the music!
