Zhaolu DAC D3.0 with SPDIF and TG-link D3 decoders!
The Zhaolu D3 stereo digital audio decoder is a brand new generation of Digital Analog Converter from Zhaolu.
Obad Imports offers a specially upgraded version of the D3, including:
ELNA BP capacitors installed in the power supply and analog section
Linear Technologies LT-1057 replaces the BurrBrown OPA604 Op-Amps
The front panel includes digital input selections, power switch and setting options. Users can specify startup priority for digital audio input and D3 decoders will automatically choose the preset input. The rear panel now features high quality chassis mounted RCA sockets for input, and four digital inputs.
2 RCA Coaxial Inputs
1 Optical TOSLink
1 TG-Link high-speed buffer input
With the D3, Zhaolu has stayed with independent modules for each section of the DAC. Not only does this lower noise and distortion, it also makes upgrades, mods and repairs much easier. Digital SPDIF signals are intercepted by the Cirrus Logic CS8416 and are then transferred to the Cirrus Logic CS4398 D/A Converter. The low-level signal output by the CS4398 is buffered by the BurrBrown OPA627. To reduce noise and digital error, components in the digital circuit are surface-mount parts.
