SUPERLINK is CEC’s proprietary digital signal transmission system that transports music
signals and synchronization(clock) signals with separate cables. The SPDIF(Sony Philips
Digital Inter Face) and AES/EBU(Audio Engineering Society/European Broadcasting Union)
systems, commonly used in coaxial digital outputs and optical outputs, transmit both the
music and clock signals through the same cable, and thus are prone to jitter effects caused
by the signals interfering with each other. CEC’s SUPERLINK system transmits these signals
separately with multiple cables, requiring no encoding/decoding process for data transmission.
It minimizes deterioration of the music signal during transmission by using the clock signals
from the D/A converter’s master clock generator to achieve complete synchronization. Each
transmission path delivers/receives the following signals.
MCK
(Master Clock): The CD transport receives the master clock signal from the D/
A converter through this line, and functions as a slave to the DA converter, enabling
completely synchronized transportation of audio data.
BCK
(Bit Clock): Sends bitclock signals, required for digital data bit identification(e.g.
sampling frequency) or signal readout, from the CD transport to the D/A converter.
LRCK
(L/RClock):Sendsleft/rightidentificationclocksignalsfromtheCDtransporttothe
D/A converter.
DATA
: Sends audio data from the CD transport to the DA converter.
