best ever equipped TDA1541A with USB, S \/ PDIF, optical input and direct I2S input, as well as an additional transformer output.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Particular attention is paid to the power supply of the S5 DAC.\u00a0These are 10 separate sources with 3-stage passive common-mode filtering.\u00a0The isolating mains transformer also functions as a mains filter.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\"

\/><figcaption><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The novelty carries out digital-to-analog conversion without oversampling.\u00a0The asynchronous USB input operates at up to 384 kHz with two low-jitter main clocks and is electrically isolated.<\/p>\n<p>The S5 also features a 75-ohm BNC S \/ PDIF input.\u00a0The analog output operates on a patented open loop technology.\u00a0The circuit uses high-quality parts: semiconductors Renesas and Toshiba, capacitors Panasonic PPS and OS-Con and Rubycon ZA, carbon resistors Allen Bradley and Vishay.\u00a0Toroidal output transformers further reduce noise and pickup.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/153b207-12bf-499f-bc31-4c8f8a15730a.jpg\" width=\"1124\" height=\"288\" \/><figcaption><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The Audial S5 is ready to accept USB, coaxial S \/ PDIF and optical S \/ PDIF (Toslink).\u00a0Added to this is a PCM \/ I2S interface with proprietary HDMI connectors.\u00a0With them, two S5s can be combined into a 4-channel USB DAC.<\/p>\n<p>In Europe, the basic version of the Audial S5 will cost 2,200 euros, including shipping by DHL or FedEx.\u00a0An additional transformer-isolated RCA or XLR output is available for an additional \u20ac 150.<\/p>\n<!-- FeedbackWP Plugin --><div        class=\"rmp-widgets-container
