FEATURES
Young is a high
performance, very high value-for-money D/A converter
capable of handling up to 384kHz sampling rate and
32 bits resolution (USB input). It features a high
speed asynchronous USB input based on the hiFace
technology, further developped to allow for higher
sampling rates. A comprehensive input set (S/PDIF on
RCA and BNC, AES/EBU on XLR and optical on Toslink)
provide great connection versatility. Despite its
price, Young encompasses a leading edge technology
for data handling and processing. A high performance
oversampling filter, custom-made on a programmable
logic device (FPGA) implements minimum-phase filters
optimized for sound quality which allow for a very
low noise floor. A 32 bits -D/A integrated circuit
is used in a non-conventional mode to allow for
768kHz internal operation. The synergy between the
DAC IC and the custom oversampler allows for
exceptionally low noise floor and THD. The output
buffer uses a special operational amplifier with
very low noise and THD thanks to its class-A biased
output stage. The small size and stylish look of the
Young allow for a invasive placement in every living
space.
