THE ULTIMATE HIGH-END STATEMENT

•

•
Built-in 24-Bit/192-kHz Precision Upsampler
•

The D1 is first of all a cutting-edge music preamplifier/surround-sound
home theater processor with built-in tuner and independent source
selection for recording.
It boasts our proprietary built-in Upsampler that converts the sample
rates of all incoming digital signals to 192 kHz, the
only preamplifier/
processor to offer upsampling on
all channels and all formats,
including decoded Dolby
®
Digital and DTS
®
material.
As a high-end whole-home entertainment center the D1 is as much
about distributed video as it is about distributed audio—allowing you
to select and direct audio and video program material throughout
your home. The Main Path provides video and multichannel audio for
your main music and home theater room. Zone 2 and Zone 3 paths
are independent of the Main Path, and of each other. Selectable by
source, they provide video and two-channel audio output with Volume,
Bass, Treble, and Balance controls to two completely separate zone
outputs. The Record path provides video, two-channel analog-audio
and digital-audio record outputs selectable by source. With the addition
of an external preamplifier you can even turn the Record Path into a
fourth independent audio/video zone.
What ultimately separates the D1 from every other preamplifier/
processor on the market, however, is sonic presentation. The D1 is
an Anthem
™
Statement creation and as such is fundamentally more
revealing, displays an extraordinary degree of musical precision, and
delivers unheard-of resolution for music and movies. It is truly the
ultimate
high -end statement—the final word in surround-sound
processors.
