1.0) INTRODUCTION
The MYDAC II's new technology recovers low-level musical, textural and
spatial information for “analog-like” sound from all digital files including
high resolution files up to 192KHz, Redbook CD, and even compressed
digital music files such as MP3. Made in California, the MYDAC II has
S/PDIF, USB and Toslink inputs, and is available in silver and black finish.
The MYDAC II’s power supply is internal and connects to the wall with the
supplied wall mount transformer.
Mike Yee’s patented digital reconstruction technology, MODR or Musically
Optimized Digital Reconstruction, was developed over the past 3 years. It
is software driven, executed with a FPGA or field-programmable gate
array, and operates in both the digital and analog domain.
Design attributes of the MYDAC II are:
•
3 digital inputs:
S/PDIF for up to 24bit/192kHz files
Toslink for up to 24bit/96kHz files
USB for up to 16bit/48kHz files
•
Front panel indicators of Sampling Rate in kHz
•
Texas Instruments (TI) 16 bit and 24 bit DACs
•
FPGA running patented MODR software
•
Absolute Phase Switching
•
TI (National Semiconductor) OPAMP based audio output stage
The Installation of the MYDAC II is quite simple and involves:
a.) Connecting the various digital inputs with proper configuration
settings (see section 2)
b.) Connecting the power source (see section 3)
c.) Connecting the Audio Outputs (see section 4)
d.) Placing the unit (see section 5)
2.0) DIGITAL INPUT CONFIGURATION SETTINGS
The MYDAC II features 3
discrete digital inputs that can
be connected simultaneously
to multiple digital sources and
selected via the front panel
selector switches. The
selected input and sampling
rate of that input’s digital fie
will illuminate. Please note
that the quality of the digital
cables used can impact sound
quality. Please consult with your audio dealer.
