Transport developers is noise and jitter reduction in the galvanically isolated output stage.\u00a0It completely separates pure digital audio data from noisy environments.\u00a0Signals between the two boards are transmitted in the form of short-wave radio pulses with a focused beam.\u00a0The power supply of the boards is also separate.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"

&#8220;understands&#8221; almost all laser audio discs, formats and file types.\u00a0The new product also provides a USB input for receiving audio from storage devices.\u00a0In addition to the I2S output for PCM and DSD (raw), the PST provides 1 coaxial and 2 BNC outputs for PCM and DoP (they are ready to work in tandem for &#8220;dual&#8221; DoP &#8211; DSD 128).\u00a0Likewise, you can use the
