A High-End Marvel for Audiophiles
The Denafrips Terminator 15th Anniversary Edition DAC is engineered with complete isolation between the Digital Processing Board and R-2R ladder network arrays. This innovative design, physically linked by the OCXO module, minimizes noise and significantly enhances the signal-to-noise ratio, ensuring a pristine audio experience.
The Terminator 15th boasts ultra-low phase noise and exceptional accuracy, thanks to its oven-controlled crystal oscillators (OCXO). These OCXOs are housed in a robust metal casing and powered by a specially designed, shielded power supply, providing optimal stability and performance.
Designed for audiophiles seeking unparalleled accuracy, the Terminator 15th features a high-precision OCXO clock-out. This component synchronizes with various audio frequencies, supporting:Audio Frequencies: 44.1 kHz, 48 kHzClock Frequencies: 22.5792 MHz, 24.576 MHz, 45.1584 MHz, 49.152 MHzExperience unmatched synchronization and precision in your audio setup with the Terminator 15th.
The dedicated linear power supply unit of the Terminator 15th is encased in a robust 1.5mm thick metal alloy enclosure, providing enhanced EMI/EMF shielding. This innovative box-within-box design eliminates issues associated with dual box solutions, showcasing Denafrips’ meticulous attention to detail.
