PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The
Limetree USB-DAC
is a super high-quality digital-to-analog
converter featuring an analog volume control and a headphone
amplifier to boot. Selecting the volume with a rotary knob plus the
included remote control make it the ideal game partner for music
reproduction over a computer. Through a USB cable it is connect-
ed to a USB port of a notebook or desktop computer where it re-
places the internal soundcard of this device. That way the sound
quality of the music playback can be raised to the level of the best
hi-fi equipment. The Limetree USB-DAC can be used as a stand-
alone headphone amplifier, but also simultaneously as a preamp
for active speakers or power amps.
The circuitry and above all the component selection of the Lime-
tree USB-DAC have been optimized down to the smallest detail to
offer ultimate sound characteristics. All music files are re-clocked
by means of an ultra precise FemtoClock: the thus processed
data are free from “jitter“, the most frequent cause for poor digi-
tal playback. The sound is open, natural and follows the recording
in the best sense. For the output stage we use one of the finest
amplifier modules on the market which sets benchmarks as a
headphone amplifier in terms of sound.
For the power supply we use a high-quality “medical grade“
mains adapter to ensure a very high decoupling from any mains
interference. Together with the elaborate filtering in the device
and special voltage regulators an extremely trouble-free power
supply with noise values below 10 µV is achieved.
