SPL Mercury Mastering DA Converter - Black
Stereo high-voltage rail digital to analog converter fulfilling the highest demands both technologically and tonally featuring 768 kHz/32-bit sampling rates and Direct Stream Digital up to DSD4
MFR# 1730
Product Description
The SPL Mercury Mastering DA Converter is a stereo digital to analog converter that fulfills the highest demands both technologically and tonally. It is the first Mastering DA converter designed in 120 V rail technology.
The mandatory lowpass filters that immediately follow the DA converter’s analog output are built in 120 V rail technology. The filters are each optimized for PCM and for DSD playback. They are referred to as DLP120, which stands for dual low-pass filters in 120V technology. DLP120 significantly increases the dynamic range and headroom beyond the current benchmarks.
A total of seven digital inputs (2x AES/EBU, 2x SPDIF, 2x TOSLINK as well as USB) can be connected to Mercury.
Conversion is designed around AKM’s highly acclaimed Velvet-Sound converter technology that sports sampling rates of up to 768 kHz, 32-bit and Direct Stream Digital up to DSD4.
Mercury provides two sets of analog stereo outputs. One of which is fixed and can be calibrated to all common reference levels, the other provides an analog controllable output level, which makes Mercury a state-of-the-art monitor controller, too.
