MDA1000
Commentary

A D/A converter developed for use with the CD Transport MCD1000.

Sampling frequencies of 96 kHz, 48 kHz, 44.1 kHz and 32 kHz are supported.
A 24 bit type multi-bit D/A converter has two circuits per channel and eight circuits for both channels.

All digital signals input to the MDA1000 are upsampled to 768kHz/24bit and sent to the D/A converter for higher resolution, higher S/N and smoother analog signals.

The digital outputs are equipped with a coaxial Route 3, an optical Route 3 and a balanced one system.
One unbalanced / balanced analog output can be switched between fixed and variable.

Uses a top cover and side panel made of machined aluminum material.
