CARAT-TII (T2) is not a product which intends
to pair with CARAT-SAPPHIRE. CARAT-T2 is a new DIGITAL TO DIGITAL CONVERTOR,
which can be matched with various high-end DACs which do not support for USB
connection. However CARAT-TII (T2) will be fantastic matching with
CARAT-SAPPHIRE.
CARAT-T2 chooses a digital signal isolated
device developed for independent USB connection, which results in purification
of signal. Another USB power isolated device is placed on the area of USB power
in, so that it can control unstable USB power from PC. And Scientific
conversion’s dual line transformer, Toshiba’s Fiber Optic Toslink and
gold-coated AES/EBU plug of Switch craft are selected audio signal output.
INDEPENDENT 2
ISOLATORS FOR USB
There are two independent isolators which
works individually for USB. One of them is USB digital signal isolation device,
ADUM4160 of Analog Devices, which purify signal of DDC. The other is USB power
isolation device, ADUM5000 of Analog Devices. ADUM5000 works to isolate input power
and purify it again to supply.
AES/EBU
DIGITAL BALANCE OUTPUT
CARAT-T2 has AES/EUB digital balance output.
This digital balance output let high end audio users easily enjoy PC-FI. Many
hifi audio users already have various DACs which they may have no USB input,
but many of high end DAC already have digital balance input, CARAT-T2 can be a
great solution for the demand to use USB connection.
How this idea was possible is Styleaudio is
not simple electronics engineers, but also more than 20 years experienced hifi
audio users to understand what audiophile want. Under the real experience of PC
and Audio circumstance, CARAT-T2 was born and we are sure it will be a great
bridge between your no-USB-DAC with your PC.
DIGITAL AUDIO
PULSE TRANSFORMER FROM SCIENCTIFIC CONVERSION
As Digital audio pulse transformer is
Scientific Conversion’s highest grade product which is recommended by many
world class audio companies, CARAT-T2 surly presents pure audio sound to the
users.
FLEXIBLE
SELECTION OF POWER, GOLD-COATED PCB
Even though user do not use external power adapter, two independent isolators can produce high end sound quality. This is also possibly to be combined CAR Audio with CAR PC. But users can buy external power adapter, if they want.
BEST COMBINATION
WITH CARAT-SAPPHIRE
CARAT-T2 can be connected with many of high
end DACs which there’s no USB port. However the combination with CARAT-SAPPHIRE
surly present the best sound quality.
