Avocet features dim, mute and mono functions plus a speaker select switch that sends line level balanced audio to one of three outputs.
#CRANE SONG AVOCET WORD CLOCK UPDATE#
This is a serious update to one of the most already cherished AD/DA converter thanks to the inclusion of the Quantum conversion technology. All digital signals are up-sampled and jitter reduced to ensure highest accuracy during D/A conversion. The Crane Song HEDD Quantum is a 19 standalone AD/DA converter and Word Clock with the latest Quantum conversion technology and DSP based harmonic colouration options. The AD, DA and ASRC chips are the high end AKM 32 bit parts, coupled with proprietary analog filtering and clockingĪ word on upgrades of HEDD-192, the DA will upgrade, the AD will, but will not be tested until January 2018, the clocking will not upgrade. Avocet is a stereo controller with three digital inputs, three analog inputs and a headphone system. Quantum clocking is the same sub pico second jitter clocking that is used in the Avocet IIA DAC.
#CRANE SONG AVOCET WORD CLOCK GENERATOR#
The entire audio path is discrete analog electronics with balanced output amps and premium op-amp chips around the Quantum DAC, the same converter and clock used in Crane Songs standalone Solaris DAC and Hedd Quantum A/D-D/A and Clock Generator products. Crane Song HEDD Quantum Convertor Features. In HEDD Quantum, the sub ps jitter clocking is applied to both the AD and the DA. I tested Avocets latest stereo audio chassis (firmware 13.1). The new features: Quantum clocking is the same sub pico second jitter clocking that is used in the Avocet IIA DAC. In the ANA mode the input is analog and it outputs on all three digital outputs and the analog output at the same time.ĭither, which is analog generated, is selectable for 16 or 20 bit Most likely in stock, contact or whats app/tel +971 50 7949226. In the DIGI setting the unit will run digital in from one of three sources and output on all three digital outputs and the analog output at the same time. Operational modes allow the DA and the AD to be used at the same time, at different sample rates. HEDD Quantum still has the same great DSP emulation of Triode, Pentode tubes and Tape emulation In addition to the new AD, DA, Clocking, I/O and WC outputs.
There are 6 new WC outputs that allow HEDD Quantum to be used as a master clock at the same time that the AD and DA are being used Optical in and out have been added, toslink The result is very good imaging, a very open 3d sound, and very detailed transit response, it is very accurate In HEDD Quantum, the sub ps jitter clocking is applied to both the AD and the DA
