Dear Customer,
What more can you do after launching the Morpheus one of the best dacs available today? All the options and features that the Morpheus
already had but now on steroids! Introducing Pasithea by Sonnet Digital Audio, a powerful Digital DAC/
comparable to others with a price tag whichis twice as high! The biggest difference between his predecessors
based on a new generation of the previous used SDA-2 dac modules. This new SDA-3 module is able to run on a unusual high voltage
does this improve the signal to noise ratio but by working with four modules per channel a very low output impedance can be achieved.
the Morpheus, consumed energy is kept as low as possible and despite the eight SDA-3 modules used, the Pasithea consumes an average of
16 Watts in full operation. As each SDA-3 module is using four R2R ladder networks in balanced mode, a total of
involved to give the Pasithea top performance. Needless to say that we use Non Oversampling techniques. Our own designed and
DAC chips will guarantee a unique listening experience! The result of this process is an extremely high linearity, right down to
gives the Pasithea a realistic 24 bit dynamic range. Due to new technology as used for the volume control,
"variable" or "fixed mode". As a result the Pasithea can be used as a digital pre amplifier and driving power amplifiers
intervention of a normal pre amplifier or as a normal dac having a fixed output level. Next the Pasithea is equipped with an expansion slot for
DSP functions. If used the Pasithea will detect the module automatically.
The MQA module is one of the options available. MQA (Master Quality Authenticated) is an award
technology that delivers the sound of the original master recording. The master MQA file is fully authenticated and is
small enough to stream or download. After MQA module is installed the Pasithea is able to play back MQA audio files
and streams, delivering the sound of the original master recording. MQA decoding is activated by default in the
and streams, delivering the sound of the original master recording. MQA decoding is activated by default in the
Pasithea menu so MQA will be indicated on the display when played.
The new approach of the Pasithea is a step forwards as it omits all electronics as used for a normal pre-amplifier. It is musical,
oversampling principle and simultaneously incorporating the technological progress that has been made over the years while developing our
products.
We wish you many years of enjoyment experiencing music!
