INTRODUCTION
Inspiring the joy of listening
Technical
Audio
Devices
Laboratories,
Inc.
(TADL)
grew
from
the
spirit
to
discover
technologies
to
perfectly
recreate
the
pure
sound
of
live
performances
with
uncompromising
craftsmanship.
We
have
inherited
our
philosophy
from
Bart
Locanthi
—
recognized
across
the
globe
as
the
ultimate
sound
technologist
—
who
believed
that
genuine
technology
is
true
to
the
basics
and
that
genuine
technology
places
greater
importance
on
sound
quality
than
on
technology
for
its
own
sake.
At
TADL,
we
are
honing
our
technology
to
create
equipment
that
reproduces
musical
sounds
that
evoke
both
the
energy
and
impact
of
live
music.
Features
Ultra-high C/N* ratio Master Clock featuring UPCG**
Reduction
of
the
total
amount
of
master
clock
j
itter
has
been
previously
suggested
as
a
means
of
attaining
even
higher
levels
of
sound
quality,
TAD
Labs
has
taken
this
a
step
further,
focusing
on
reduction
of
j
itter
in
the
low-frequency
sideband
ranges
relative
to
the
center
frequencies,
and
to
that
end,
a
new
Ultra-high-Precision
Crystal
Generator
(UPCG)
has
been
developed.
Based
on
technologies
developed
for
high-speed
digital
base-station
relay
facilities,
the
master
clock
with
its
dedicated
oscillators
and
high-purity
conductivity
deliver
the
ultimate
performance
demanded
by
a
CD
player,
allowing
it
to
reproduce
to
perfection
the
signals
engraved
on
the
disc.

Ultra-high-Precision
Crystal
Generator
Twin Differential D/A Converters
Twin
Burr-Brown
digital-audio
converters
are
connected
in
parallel
for
improved
audio
performance
in
all
metrics,
including
S
/
N
ratio,
linearity,
dynamic
range,
and
distortion.
These
features
allow
even
delicate
audio
signals
to
be
played
back
faithfully,
creating
a
greater
degree
of
breadth
in
musical
reproduction.
Power unit
The
TAD-DA1000
features
large
independent
proprietary
toroidal
transformers
in
the
analog
and
digital
sections,
allowing
each
and
every
signal
to
be
followed
with
high
response,
thus
realizing
both
powerful
performance
and
low
noise.
High-Rigidity Construction with Low Center of Gravity
Highly
rigid
aluminum
chassis
suppresses
effects
from
external
vibrations.
Placement
of
the
massive
heavy
base
has
been
designed
to
lower
the
center
of
gravity,
thus
further
reducing
vibrations.
These
design
elements
have
made
it
possible
to
reproduce
music
signals
with
great
stability
while
avoiding
the
vibration
caused
by
speaker
pressure
and
other
sources.
High-precision D/A converter
Signal
conversion
is
performed
through
a
high-precision
D
/
A
converter
and
sampling
rate
converter,
with
reclocking
performed
by
an
ultra-high-purity
master
clock.
USB
With
the
USB
input,
PCM
signals
are
supported
up
to
a
maximum
sampling
rate
of
384
kHz,
and
maximum
32
bits,
while
also
supporting
DSD
signals
’
DoP
format
transmission
(maximum
sampling
rate
depends
on
combination
with
Mac
OS).
Line output volume
The
unit
is
equipped
with
a
line-output
volume,
allowing
the
user
to
compose
a
simple
system
merely
by
connecting
to
a
power
amplifier.
The
unit
is
also
furnished
with
an
independent
headphones
volume
controller.
