One Transformer-based linear mode power supply concurrently supports
THREE audio appliances: (UD-10.1 Lite, PA-10 & TA-10.2P or TA-10.2 SE).
l
Compact design (mini-size & light weight), easy portable and setup for Hi-Fi
room, living room, sleeping room or even right beside your laptop computer.
l
High-end Burr Brown PCM2704 IC for USB audio conversion.
l
Separated digital/analog ground. The digital GND (network) and the analog
GND (solid) is totally separated except connected via a ferrite bread in a single
point. It effectively reduces interference between digital signals and analog
signals.
l
Applied RS422 driving IC to concurrently drive 2 groups of digital outputs.
Audiophiles can compare the differences between these digital outputs
instantly or play for the Bi-DACs.
l
Proprietary impedance matching circuits for Coaxial(75ohm) digital outputs.
l
Applied the specially designed pulse transformers for Coaxial outputs to
further isolated interference from UD-10.1 Lite to the external DAC. The most
pure, accurate, standard digital signal is then regenerated with minimum
interference and jitter.

l
Innovative circuit design of low voltage hybrid (tube/transistor) & pure class-A
circuit pre-amplifier to provide the best sound performance and easy/safe
DIYer accessibility.
l
Provide TWO sets of switchable audio inputs in the pre-amplifier. Besides the
normal CD input, the PC/iPod input with higher gain is provided for small
output PC/Mac/iPod/iPad.
l
Besides the normal audio output in the back panel, ONE headphone output in
the front of the pre-amplifier to drive even high-impedance audiophile-grade
headphones.
l
TWO precise screw-driving potentiometers for professional audiophiles to
adjust the tube’s bias voltage to guarantee the best working point for different
tubes.
l
The stylish aluminium case provides outstanding shielding & grounding
capability to keeps the background silent and maximizes the S/N ratio.
