DIGITAL TO ANALOGUE CONVERTER

BRYSTON DAC

The Bryston DAC chip we use is a hybrid multi-bit delta sigma 
DAC (digital to analogue converter) device. Before the digital 
data reaches the delta-sigma modulator, it is run through an 8x 
over-sampling process and digital interpolation filter. Due to 
the inherent over-sampling process of a delta- sigma modulator 
architecture, the overall interpolation ratio of the device is 128 
times. Over-sampling and up-sampling have some great benefits 
when implemented correctly.
There is a significant difference between up-sampling and 
oversampling. Over-sampling is when the samples are repeated 
(2x, 4x, 8x, etc.) to create a new sampling frequency. The new 
samples are then generally run through an interpolation filter 
to create a more analog-like waveform.
Up-sampling usually refers to a mathematical process in which 
the new sample rate is not a multiple of the old sample rate, 
and the numbers have to be calculated in real-time. This is 
what is happening when a sample rate converter chip is in an 
up-convert mode. So in the BP-26 DA, if a 44.1 kHz signal 
is present: we up-sample to 96kHz (with the Sample Rate 
Converter) and then the DAC will internally 8x over-sample 
that signal. The great benefit of both of these methods is that 
it relaxes the requirements of the analog filter after the DAC.  

This is important because it allows designers to implement 
higher cutoff frequencies with slower roll-offs, which results 
in a phase linear circuit in the audio band.
The up-sampling method, when implemented correctly, also 
has the side effect of jitter reduction, since the output clock is 
usually asynchronous from the input clock. Another thing to 
note is that if the over-sampling or up-sampling processes are 
implemented poorly, they can actually introduce jitter. This is 
usually a result of poor power supply implementation.
So, in the Bryston DAC, each stage in the digital chain (input 
receiver > sample rate converter > digital audio converter) is 
independently regulated to prevent any interactions and to 
provide rock solid power supplies for any up-sampling/over-
sampling process. 
All of this being said the most critical part of the DAC circuit 
in the Bryston Preamplifiers and Bryston Integrated Amplifiers 
is that the output from the D to A is directly connected to 
a pair of Bryston proprietary Class A Discrete Operational 
Amplifiers rather than the typical IC chips employed in most 
other products. This makes a huge difference in resolution and 
dynamic headroom performance.
