Anedio D1 DAC 1
Welcome
Thank you for purchasing the Anedio D1 DAC!
Anedio is founded upon the principle that the enjoyment of highest-
quality music should be available for everyone, not just for the
esoteric few. Our quest is to attain the most realistic and faithful
reproduction of music, enabling the listener to experience its beauty,
pathos, joy, and delight more fully. At the same time, we strive to
make our products affordable by focusing on the essentials and
using the most cost-effective technologies. The result, we believe, is
a unique combination of sonic excellence and superb value.
At the center of the Anedio D1 is the ES9018 Sabre Reference 32-bit
DAC from ESS Technologies. Its oversampling modulator,
optimized for accurate reproduction of music, excels at maintaining
superb linearity at all levels, tracking fast transients, and resolving
lowermost signals. You will be able to hear minute details, accurate
rendition of instrumental timbres, and spacial cues from
reverberations.
The D1 DAC incorporates multi-stage jitter reduction circuits to
tame jitter as far as possible, well below the threshold of audibility.
As the digital signal goes through each stage, the jitter level is
progressively reduced until the critical final stage, which is driven by
an ultra-low jitter oscillator with 0.5 ps rms jitter. Whether you
listen to music through USB or SPDIF, the multi-stage jitter
reduction is highly effective, delivering consistently natural,
musical, and relaxed sound.
The built-in volume control allows power amplifiers to be connected
directly to the D1 DAC, eliminating the preamp in the signal path
when playing from a digital source. Bypassing the preamp is one of
the most significant steps toward a higher level of transparency. To
ensure highest signal-to-noise ratios at realistic listening levels, our
design uses an optimal combination of 32-bit digital attenuators and
thin-film resistor dividers.
All the performance and quality are made available at an affordable
price by using highly-efficient manufacturing technologies and by
incorporating cost-reduction measures from the very beginning of
the design process.
We hope you will experience many years of joy and pleasure in
listening to music.
