Optional 8-channel D/A card with specifications matching those of the A/D section,
turning the Trak2 into a complete digital audio conversion system with two A/D
channels and up to 8 D/A.

The Apogee AES-8-DIGI-IFC Multi-Channel Digital Cable System is an eight channel AES/EBU* input/output connection designed to interface the Apogee Rosetta 800 to a Digidesign 192's AES/EBU connection via DB-25 multipin connectors on both ends with metal shells for improved grounding and RF rejection. This cable provides 8 channels of AES input and output as per the AES standard. Thumb screws are 2.6mm.

The DA-16X features a redesigned power supply, standard 192kHz sampling rates,
the C777 clocking technology found in Big Ben, and optional Pro Tools HD and
FireWire expansion cards. And, not only does the X-Series hardware offer unequaled,
groundbreaking technology but it makes it available at a fraction of the cost associated
with previous, premium Apogee gear.

Features:
16 channels of premium 24-bit DA conversion
Sample rates up to 192k
16 channels of AES, ADAT/SMUX Input
Word Clock I/O
Optional HD card for direct connection to ProTools HD
Optional S800 FireWire card capable of sample rates up to 192k, compatible
with OS X/Windows XP and all popular DAW's
All option cards (X-FireWire and X-HD) facilitate connection of multiple units
Direct Digital Synthesis (DDS) using Big Ben's C777 Clock Technology up to 192kHz
Master clock capability
Adaptive Loop Filtering (ALF) for optimum clock performance and minimum jitter
Support for AES double wire and SMUX formats
Intuitive front panel calibration
Word Clock termination switch
 

The new Fostex HP-A3 is the perfect DAC for Computer Audio. This high quality unit features 32bit D/A Conversion with an integrated headphone amplifier exclusively designed to get the most from and PC audio set-up.

Why settle for 'built-in' D/A conversion when you can drastically improve the quality of your audio with a Fostex HP-A3?

• USB Bus power without using unwanted AC adapter
• Works with up to 24bit/96kHz audio source
• Exclusive PLL power supply is built in to reproduce the stable electrical supply
• High quality analog headphone amp to drive any type of headphones
• Equipped with hgih-grade AKM 32bit(*) DAC AK4390
• Condensers and OP amp designed exclusively for audio products
• USB / Digital (Optical) input selector
• Headphones / RCA (Analog) output selector
• Doubles as D/D converter from USB digital audio to Optical
• An USB/AC adapter from the shelf can be used for use as an Optical / Analog converter

Note: When using the USB input, the sampling frequency is fixed at 96kHz.  Audio file with Fs 32k/44.1k/48kHz will be reproduced by upsampling to 96kHz and the S/PDIF Out is also fixed at 96kHz.
