Product Description

Choosing Antelope Audio Zodiac means you are taking a big step into a new world of digital sound clarity, where your listening experience will expand with warmth and detail.  Connect your PC, Mac, CD player or any other digital source and enjoy sublime performance from the high grade headphone amplifiers or analog outputs to your speakers.

We consider our 64 bit Oven Clock the most important technology in delivering the signature Antelope sound.  While interfacing with common digital audio signal sources, Zodiac technology leaps ahead, resulting in pristine audio normally only obtained by professionals.  Custom circuit designs handle the digital audio to produce incredible results that have not been seen or heard before.

Great sound is not something that goes out of fashion, so Zodiac is a DAC to be enjoyed for many years to come.

Oven Controlled Clock
Often overlooked, the quality of the clock is extremely important when high quality audio is desired.  The clock is housed in a shielded container where the temperature is kept constant, therefore bringing significant benefits to the detail, dynamics and stereo placement of the audio.

64 Bit Technology
Sophisticated 64 bit algorithms allow precise control over our Acoustically Focused Clocking (AFC) and Jitter Management; two critical components to improve audio via clocking.  The incoming digital signal is brought to life with this unique 64 bit technology, resulting in smooth and detailed audio whatever the method of digital connectivity.

Antelope Performance USB
Custom implementation of the USB chip leads to extreme audio performance and comprehensive support for your system.  There are user selectable modes tailored to suit both Mac and PC; and with a data transfer rate of 480Mbits flawless audio is achieved with native drivers.

Smooth Headphones
Ultra Linear, Dual Stage Headphone Amps deliver smooth sound at both high and low levels.  Custom designed for accurate monitoring with a wide range of headphone impedance's.  Controlled by a dedicated volume knob.

Cutting-edge design
To preserve the full bit resolution of the DAC, volume adjustment is entirely in the analog domain.  Separate analog and digital power supplies eliminate digital cross-talk.  This is further enhanced by keeping analog and digital circuits on separate PCB’s.  These gold plated boards utilize large internal ground plains, canceling noise and voltage shifts.

Nuts and Bolts
All component decisions for Zodiac are based on a passion to produce something very special - technically, musically and aesthetically.  Built with many solid aluminum parts and also very cute on the eye, it will be your pride and joy just like it is our passion.

I would like to thank VK for the wonderful sales assistance, service and prices. This was my first purchase with you and it won't be my last. I only wish I'd discovered you years ago!

In almost 20 years in Pro audio buying, never did I receive a unit so well packed and exactly as described. Works flawlessly. The whole process has been so smooth. I will never hesitate to do business with you guys in the future and will recommend you to everyone I know.

This was my first experience buying something from Vintage King (although I surf the "used" categories on the website frequently!), and, despite being on the other side of the world, I had absolutely no trouble and everything went very smoothly.

The speed of delivery exceeded my expectations! I was VERY pleased that my shipment arrived in time for a scheduled vocal tracking session. The packing insured that my order arrived safely. And the sales staff responded quickly to questions regarding the product.

My experience with Vintage King was excellent. The order was here fast considering it was out of stock. The sales person had SKB send it to me directly and I couldn't have been more pleased.

From the minute I placed my order I was kept well-informed through each step in your process. Even though I was buying a comparatively modest piece of gear, your attention to detail made me feel like I was purchasing a six-figure mixing desk.
