Denon DA300USB Desktop Audio DAC boasts the same high definition signal processing and ultra-high precision 32 bit, 192 kHz digital to analogue conversion technologies that deliver the astounding sound quality of Denon's top of the range CD / SACD players.

Simply connecting the minimalist styled DAC via USB-B provides incredible quality computer-audio – with headphones or powered speakers – for computer-stored music files or streaming audio over the internet. Alternatively, the DA-300USB is a major Hi-Fi upgrade; enabling audiophile playback of computer music libraries and streaming audio (from any PC or Mac) via your hi-fi, at the same time dramatically improving the sound quality of other digital audio devices, like media players, CD and DVD players, TV’s and set-top boxes, Apple TV, and games consoles, by connecting them to the additional coaxial and optical digital inputs.

The DA-300USB features universal digital file format support for PCM and DSD (the native file format for SACD) digital audio signals on the USB-B input, for bit-transparent, asynchronous playback of digital music files and streaming audio from connected PCs, and PCM signals, up to 24 bit, 192 kHz, via the SPDIF and optical digital inputs. Denon Advanced AL32 Processing and High-Precision 32 bit, 192 kHz digital to analogue conversion feed the line-level outputs for connection to a hi-fi amplifier or desktop speaker system and an integrated headphone amplifier that drives all types of headphones and in-ears, for exceptional listening quality.

Universal audiophile playback of digital music files and streaming audio

The USB-B input enables computer-stored music files or streaming audio from internet music, video and film services to be processed and played via the DA-300USB for the highest possible sound quality. The computer recognises the DA-300USB as an external soundcard, completely bypassing its own lower-quality audio electronics. Any digital audio format that can be played from the computer's own media player can be processed by the DA-300USB – including MP3/MP4, AAC, ALAC, WAV and FLAC HD (up to 24 bit, 192 kHz) and DSD (in 2.8 and 5.6 resolution). Transmission of the digital audio stream from the computer to the DA-300USB is in bit-transparent, asynchronous mode, to ensure a bit-perfect data-stream for high definition Advanced AL32 Processing and High- Precision 32 bit, 192 kHz digital to analogue conversion.

Additional digital audio inputs

Three additional digital audio inputs – one coaxial and two optical – allow the DA-300USB's advanced audiophile circuitry to connect to and provide vastly improved sound reproduction for other digital audio devices, like media players, CD and DVD players, TV’s and DVB set-top boxes, Apple TV, and games consoles. The coaxial and optical digital inputs support PCM input signals up to 24 bit, 192 kHz.

High definition signal processing and D to A conversion

Denon's Advanced AL32 Processing and High-Precision 32 bit, 192 kHz digital to analogue conversion deliver audio quality far in advance of usual high definition, wide bandwidth conversion techniques. Just as advanced Blu-ray players can deliver full HD video from standard definition DVD, the Advanced AL32 processor up-converts and up-samples all input signals to a 32 bit, 192 kHz high definition data-stream, which is interpolated, using a highly advanced proprietary algorithm, to provide a full scale, accurate reproduction of the original sound recording. The Advanced AL32 processor is matched with a High-Precision 32 bit, 192 kHz D to A conversion (DAC) circuit to fully exploit the Advanced AL32 high definition processing. Quantization noise, inherent in standard resolution digital audio conversion, is rendered inaudible and digital processing and filtering artefacts are moved far beyond the range of human hearing, so as to reproduce the purest, highest possible quality analogue output signal.

DAC Master Clock design

A master clock design of exceptional accuracy been placed immediately next to the DAC circuit, to provide the greatest accuracy in the D to A signal conversion and reduce to the absolute minimum timing anomalies in the conversion process – known as jitter – that is a significant source of distortion. The design features a low jitter oscillator to generate the clock signals. Two crystals – at 44.1 and 48 kHz – are incorporated, to generate the most accurate clock for incoming signals of any sample frequency (incoming signal sample frequencies being a multiple of one or other of the crystals – e.g. 192 kHz = 4 x 48 kHz; 88.2 kHz x 44.1 kHz). The effect is to ensure the reproduction of a fully realistic and transparent stereo sound stage, with accurate localization of instruments and performers.
