SINGXER – DAC – SDA 6 – AKM AK4499 – XMOS USB – DSD512

HIGHLIGHTS

The DAC chip adopts the latest AK4499 released by AKM in 2019; DSD adopts the native direct solution mode, and the DSD digital stream does not pass through the internal digital filter and works in NOS mode, which is fully in line with the design concept of HQPlayer.
It has a wealth of input and output interfaces, including standard USB2.0 input interface, SPDIF and BNC coaxial and AES balanced input, HDMI-I2S input interface, analog output including XLR balanced output and RCA single-ended output; all interfaces support DSD input.
SDA-6 supports external clock input, among which USB supports 10M clock input, and other interfaces support WCK input. In USB mode, it also supports adjustable input impedance of 50 and 75 ohms.

The high-end version requires manual adjustment and production, so it takes more time to ship. Among them, the high-end version adopts a non-loop negative feedback full DC full-balanced discrete Class A output circuit; the crystal oscillator of the USB part uses a CCHD-957 femtosecond clock; the analog part uses a Mundorf film capacitor for tuning; the sound performance will be A little more relaxed and lively.

SPECIALIZATIONS I2S over HDMI

• HDMI LVDS 3.3V differential signal;
• HDMI LVDS 3.3V differential signal; I2S interface compatible with a number of I2S output signal definition, FPGA built-in PCM / DSD signal automatic identification algorithm;
• DSD ON signal self-detecting, DSD ON this signal can be hard input to the PIN13,14,15,16 pin.
• PIN1-3 and PIN7-9 phase adjustable, the Default user can configure the phase
• The SDA-1 can be configured with SW switches to accommodate different I2S standards.

HDMI-I2S is different for each manufacturer worldwide, and for most manufacturers HDMI-I2S is a proprietary proprietary protocol. Default is PS-Audio standard.
