This
DAC uses the CS8416 digital chip for the optical and S/PDIF inputs which
supports bit depths up to 24bit and sampling rates up to 192KHz when
connected via an optical or coaxial digital cable. The CM-108 USB
receiving chip is used for the USB input, which supports up to
16bit/48KHz. When fed via USB, the DataStream is converted directly to
I2S, which allows for the lowest jitter possible in this particular
design. Using the excellent CM-108 receiving chip, this USB 2 input
directly converts and feeds the data stream into the high performance
BB/TI PCM1796 DAC chip in the superior I2S format (avoiding any needless
jitter inducing conversion into SPDIF). The DAC chip used is the very well regarded BB/TI PCM1796 which also supports 24bit/192KHz decoding. Two piece aluminum enclosure keeps the power transformer and accompanying circuitry apart from the DAC circuitry. This allows these two sections to be well isolated from each other and contributes to the DAC's low level of self noise and clarity of sound. Please note: USB Interface supports 16-bit 44.1Khz/48Khz Sampling Rates! |

Sonicweld Diverter Receives 2009 PFO Brutus Award! Andy Schaub reports on the computer based audio system, we helped him put together Andy Schaub, Positive Feedback, Issue 49 "With the Diverter I was easily carried out of my listening room and into the venue, or for that matter, wherever the music took me! My speakers disappeared more than they have in the past and the staging was much more enveloping." John Brazier, Positive Feedback, Issue 48 (P)review of the Diverter from Dave Clark at Positive Feedback is up! "This is as close to analog as I have heard from a computer and makes me spend way too much time exploring my music files than ever before. Gee… thanks guys! At $1299. this is a no-brainer." Dave Clark, Positive Feedback, Issue 47 (P)review of the Diverter from Dave Clark at Positive Feedback is up! We are proud to introduce the Sonicweld Diverter USB to SPDIF converter. Sonicweld is well known in the high end audio business as producers of some of (if not, "THE") the finest active loudspeakers on the planet. He has collaborated with some of the top digital audio companies today, including working very closely with DEQX on their newest processor. Josh's expertise in high speed digital design is also well known outside the audio industry as he is the "go to guy" for complicated and/or stalled military and medical projects. Simply put, he succeeds where other have failed, many times taking over a stalled project and getting it finished in months, where it had been previously been languishing for years. The products Sonicweld produces are not only marvels of engineering and industrial design, but all of their products are of reference quality. Those who know me, know that I use the Sonicweld Pulserod system as my reference when I am designing anything new as it is an amazing tool for comparing minute differences among parts. The only "downside" to Sonicweld's products is that they are quite expensive, for example, the Pulserod system currently lists for $100,000. It is worth every penny, but I have been thinking for years that it would be nice to get him to design some "real world" products, that many more audio lovers could afford to purchase and increase their enjoyment of recorded music. So, recently, we began working more closely on a few items that are not only cutting edge, meticulously designed, of flawless manufacture, and best of all, these products will be affordable and still made here right in the USA. The product below is the first device to come from our efforts. Sonicweld Diverter USB to SPDIF converter. This is one of a very few select USB to SPDIF devices that can pass bit perfect 24/96 files via USB. The other devices on the market that can pass 24/96 over USB either require a special driver to be installed, or rely on licensed technology, this product is different. This device needs no special drivers (uses the native drivers in your OS) or software and does not rely on licensed technology. This is a unique and elegant solution that will allow computer audio aficionados to get one step closer to the live music experience. Even if one has no need for the ability to listen to 24/96 high resolution music files (although you owe it to yourself to do so...), this device will enhance your experience with 'regular' 16/44.1 CD quality files due to the precision reclocking circuit which dramatically reduces deterministic jitter, as well as ultra low noise power supply and the advanced high speed digital design techniques and PCB layout employed which help reduce random jitter. A great deal of time and attention has been paid to the power supply circuit, allowing the Diverter to draw power directly from the USB bus, while still realizing the benefits of an external power supply. Elegant PCB design making extensive use of SMD parts and high speed digital design techniques, aggressive common and differential mode filtering and unique ultra low-noise power regulation circuits, allows this device to have an astonishingly low noise floor when powered by the convenient USB bus power, which is already (and always) present. No longer needed, desired, or wanted, is the ubiquitous external, noisy and unwieldy "wall wart" (or "floor wart") of unknown quality and manufacturing tolerance! If you already own a high end DAC and desire to get the highest level of fidelity available from computer audio, you need this device. The Diverter supports the most common digital recording and high resolution formats; 44.1kHz, 48kHz, and 96kHz resolution in either 16 or 24 bit depths. |

Kan July 2007 "Blue Moon Award winner 2007, this one for heart-warming tube sound extruded from a cold-running Tripath-based amp: the KingRex T20." "It's a totally different world - a world in which only tube heads would find unalloyed happiness and swear unconditional loyalty. The sheer fact that this cold-running Tripath amp manages to exude such heart-warming musicality warrants my most deeply felt salutations. Tube amps, eat your valves out. Congratulations on a job well done, KingRex". |

| KingRex T20 AMP has more power compare with the original T-AMP with the loudspeakers of average sensitivity (86~90dB, 4~8Ohms). You can easily reach levels comparable to vivid performances in medium space as 6moons review~ The pace of the KingRex T20 AMP was more relaxed, stretching out on a more expansive, deeper set soundstage. This valve bloom syndrome was not masking any definition or instrument placement but rather enhancing them in a more musical way. | |||||||||||||||||||

Reviews: http://www.6moons.com/audioreviews/kingrex2/u.html-David Kan July 2007 "The KingRex T20U is basically the same as the Tripath-based T20 integrated amp but with an onboard USB interface and DAC. The heart of the T20U DAC is the Burr-Brown PCM2702E". I"I have given my highest commendation to the KingRex T20 by honoring it with the Blue Moon Award for heart-warming tube sound from a cold-running Class-T amp. The T20U is the same amp, only more truthful to the category of integrated amp by offering a second input via its USB interface. If you fancy listening to music from your computer and upgrading your listening pleasure, simply think of the T20U as the best $245 USB DAC money can buy - and the award-winning Tripath amp comes with it gratis." |

The Kingrex T20U amplifier with the TA2020 chipset has some
additional power which allows for more flexibility when choosing
loudspeakers. You can easily reach acceptable volume levels
comparable to live performances in medium spaces with
loudspeaker sensitivity as low as 86db. Sound is very well
articulated and the sound stage is wide, representing a lot of
space around the instruments and vocals. The frequency range is
also very precise from the right down to the lows. The excellent
build quality, finish of the amp and PSU is immediately apparent
as well. The T20U includes an integrated DAC for USB input that uses the Burr-Brown OPA2604AP for low pass filter and Texas Instruments' low-noise JFET-input TL072CP as a DC servo . The op-amps are socketed which makes them easy to swap out or replace. Included is an AC/DC universal auto-switching type adapter that adapts to worldwide voltages (100 to 240v). DC output ranges from 12.17v to to 12.37v. Also included is a User Guide & Manufacturer's 1-year Limited Warranty. |

Reviews: http://positive-feedback.com/Issue46/kingrex_t20.htm -John Hoffman "The pre-amplifier circuit is deceptively sophisticated, and the design team should be acknowledged for their efforts. The circuit uses 3 pairs of Burr Brown OPA627, which is a recently developed FET op amp known for high speed and low noise levels. A Burr Brown BUF634 op amp is used as a current booster, which increases current gain in the circuit. The power supply uses an 8VA torodial transformer, and a pair of National LM317 voltage regulators. The KingRex pre-amplifier has a secret weapon, which is an input buffering circuit built from discrete components. The Diamond Buffering Circuit is responsible for matching incoming audio signal, and ensuring an optimal match to the input stages of the pre-amp circuit. The KingRex pre-amp is not a bare bones unit, and proves that high-end performance does not automatically equate to a high-dollar price tag." |

| About its design~ The key components include three pairs of Burr-Brown IC: OPA627 for pre-amplification (being a new generation FET (Difet)op amp, is recognized for its low noise and high speed.), BUF634 for increasing and sustaining higher output current(BUF634 is not only a high speed op amp current booster, it also improves compatibility with power amp and loudspeakers), OPA177 for DC servo (OPA177 makes sure the op amp output is free of DC power, avoiding any chances of harming the power amp and the loudspeakers. It also has another advantage. It’s not necessary to use extra output coupling capacitors and that improves the sonic performance a lot) On the power supply front, KingRex PRE-AMP is equipped with an 8VA toroidal transformer and a pair of National LM317T voltage regulators, delivering 13V/0.3A DC current to the circuit board. The Secret weapon by unique design- plug-in PCB, Diamond Buffer circuit, which is a transistor-based all discrete-component buffering circuit that fine-tunes the incoming audio signal for frequency extension, tonal accuracy, holographic imaging and warm, tube-like atmosphere. Diamond buffer PCB mounted on top of the lower-deck main board through multi-pin connection. This design is detachable. | |||||||||||||||||||

| PREference, the second-generation preamplifier from KingRex, is a logical extension of the success story of the award-winning Preamp. Centered around high-quality op-amp and the diamond buffer highly praised for its musicality, a current booster has been added to the final output of the amplifier stage to enhance drivability. DC servo circuit has also been implemented to avoid unwanted audio signal loss due to coupling capacitors. Volume control is ALPS. Gain is user selectable with a choice of 7, 14, or 20dB. The result is accurate and perfect signal amplification, free from coloration and yet highly adaptable, the ideal for outputting to power amplifiers. | |||||||||||||||||||
| separate high-performance power supply unit further guarantees an interference-free working condition. Panasonic FM electrolytic capacitors stand on guard along critical paths with their dedication to extremely low ESR. Both the preamp and the PSU are housed in all-aluminum chassis.
