With this interface, DACs with USB input can be connected to element S, simply and quickly enable online and local streaming audio for your existing audio system. The USB DAC interface has a 5V/1A ultra-low noise power output. The power supply is processed by a multi-stage ultra-low noise linear regulator and a power filter circuit before feeding to the USB device, to ensure a better performance of the device.
- Element S has premium S/PDIF signal output abilities to work with various DACs. Through optical, coaxial and AES/EBU ports, it supports up to 24Bit/192kHz PCM audio output or 1Bit/DSD64 audio output in DoP method.
- The IISLVDS output of element S supports up to 32Bit/768kHz PCM and 1Bit/DSD512 digital audio. In order to be compatible with more DACs, we provided 4 kinds of IISLVDS pin definition and 2 MCLK modes on this port, which can be configured through MA Remote App. Furthermore, the IISLVDS is applied electrical isolation design, the ground wire of the front and back end devices are separated, to avoid the noises to transport via the ground wire.
