D. Digital straight amplifier which adopted the D.D.
(digital direct-drive) scheme.
By the digital direct-drive scheme, the
large output signal of DAC is taken to a required sound-volume voltage, and
direct connection is carried out to the power amplifier of the amplification
degree 1 (0dB), without passing the path of the amplifier of the analog source at all. Thereby, it became DAC Output-voltage = speaker terminal voltage, and
the play which employed efficiently the high S/N ratio which the digital source
has is realized.
Moreover, the DAC output unit is equipped with the high resisting pressure I/V converter as an object for a volume coordination. The Output voltage is changed by adjusting the conversion rate of this converter.
Since the amplifier of
the voltage amplification 1 (0dB) does not perform a voltage amplification, a
noise level begins a small thing and it can realize the transmission
characteristics excellent in the basic target. However, an operation will become
unstable if the usual power amplifier which drives a speaker is simply put in
order as amplification degree 1 by NFB. In order to develop this problem,
classAA and the floating power source which are high-quality sound technologies
original with technics are carried, and 0dB power amplifier is realized.
If a volume is made minimum, the capacity which a speaker has can be demonstrated
by as very little noise level asdB -140 to 100W.
The newly developed 4DAC linear 20bit system is carried in the D-A-conversion
part. By this scheme, after arranging a total of four digital analog converters
to each Masanobu number and object for negative signals of Lch/Rch and
changing each component into them individually, zero cross distortion is
theoretically canceled by combining only a fraction with a sufficient linearity.
Moreover, high-order-accuracy adoption of a 20-bit 8 time digital filter
oversampling , and an interval always realize a 20-bit high-resolution
operation regardless of input signal level, and are improving the reappearance
capacity of a minute signal sharply.
Had the twin monophonic stream composition which made
right and left become independent, it was made to separate into right and left, and the power amplifier part is arranged.
Furthermore, the cross
interferencee between L/R resulting from the electromagnetic waves from the
large current of a power amplifier part is minimized by having T type stream
composition which shielded the preamplifier part and the digital part severely.
The large-sized power transformer of a right-and-left full independence
stream composition is adopted as a power-source part.
The CLASS1 OFC line is
used for this transformer, and the outstanding regulation is realized. Moreover,
the magnetic radiation and the equipment oscillation are suppressed to the
relative minimum by adoption of the 5mm thickness insulator robber at the
high-rigidity chassis of 1.6mm thickness, and the bottom face of a transformer.
Moreover, the high speed EX electrolytic capacitor is adopted as the
electrolytic capacitor of a power-source part. This capacitor has also canceled
the slight distortion by the impurity which was making it improve the purity of
the electrolytic solution, and double figures or more, and adhered to the
electrode by application of biotechnology. Moreover, A1 electrode foil adopted a
low scaling-factor etching, thickness equalization, and the new leather film
forming method, and also the various modifications of performing
electrodeposition coating etc. are given to the top layer.
The volume coordination by DDD is performed by switching the conversion rate of an I/V conversion circuit. For this reason, compared with the general volume, the electric current is large, and if the conventional volume is used, distortion will increase.
In SE-M100, the volume element which has improved distortion 10 or
more times by adopting the newly developed low-distortion element is adopted.
The careful selection using of the high purity OCC wire rod is carried
out at the winding of a power transformer, and the lead wire of each part
including the internal wiring.
Two optical digital inputs are carried.
Moreover, it carries each one the input / input/output terminal of a coaxial.
The amplification degree of the analog input of SE-M100 is equivalent to
an Integrated Amplifier.
