Technical specifications
- TIDAL Contros: volume controlled digital-to-music converter with streaming unit and 4 digital inputs
- pure discrete designed 32-bit non-oversampling 8xR2R ladder DAC without pre-ringing and post-ringing
- lossless volume control: the signal output level is directly adjusted inside the ladder DAC - via a galvanically separated potentiometer from the outside (motor driven, can also be remote controlled)
- proprietary ASRT² Analog Signal Remediation Technology: Field Programmable Gate Array for most precise timing correlation between left and right channel incl. timing correction and audio signal remediation processing (target-interpolation TIDAL algorithm)
- every function-module in the TIDAL Contros has its own voltage supply, separated for each channel, left and right, such as for the amplification, the DAC, the PCM-unit, the streaming module and other parts. All together 22 ultra-low noise voltage supplies
- 3x low noise ring-core transformers with foil-shielding to avoid interference current between primary/analogue/digital-audio
- overall capacity >300.000µF with 180 ultra-fast charging organic capacitors
- copper-silver cable with 3 layers constrained damping shielding (power input to transformers - the only cabling inside)
- 3x SPDIF in: coaxial RCA, AES/EBU XLR, optical
- 1x proprietary TIDAL-link input interface with high speed low voltage differential signal driver/receiver: for TIDAL Arkas streamer and TIDAL devices to come in the near future
- 0,01% tolerance precision resistors, ultralow- tre vESR organic capacitors
- femto clock ultra-low noise oscillator (-169 dB)
- fully discrete Class-A output amplifier, balanced output concept without any sound-changing inverted signal generation (like with transformer outputs)
- music data streaming input: LAN ethernet (1000 BASE-T), USB storage/hard disk (single partition FAT32, NTFS, exFAT, ext2 and ext3)
- multi clock system for utmost precision in timing, MQA decoding, DSD over PCM support
- UPnP AV protocol with audio streaming extension, gapless playback
- supported formats: DSF (DSD), DFF (DSD), DoP (DSD), FLAC, ALAC, WAV, AIFF, MQA, MP3, AAC (M4A)
- native support for Tidal music streaming, Qobuz music streaming, MQA, Apple AirPlay, TuneIn internet radio, Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect music streaming
- Dimensions (width x height x length): 44cm x 13cm x 39cm
- Weight: 16.6 kg
