Katalyst<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Gain a deeper insight into your music<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our high-performance Katalyst DAC architecture performs the digital-to-analog conversion process with a high degree of accuracy and finesse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Katalyst, we have reached the absolute pinnacle of performance attainable while utilising trusted and high-quality 3rd-party chipsets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through relentless optimisation of the various critical processes adjacent to the DAC itself, we have produced a refined data optimisation stage; a highly accurate master clock; independent power supply wells; an low distortion output driver, and a high stability reference voltage level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The latter is vitally important. At the point of creation, the delicate analog audio signal is particularly susceptible to even minuscule variations in the reference level, which would cause irreversible damage to the music \u2014 heard as distortion or noise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Katalyst\u2019s high-stability input reference level eliminates variations during analog signal creation, giving you deeper insight into your music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Organik<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There are many different types of \u2018discrete\u2019 DAC. Although simply making something \u2018discrete\u2019 does not necessarily result in high performance. The performance advantage of Organik comes from its unique combination of:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Modulation method \u2013 Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) Delta-Sigma \nConversion stage \u2013 Discrete Analog Finite Impulse Response (AFIR) \nImplementation \u2013 Ultra-stable power, precision clocking, and expert PCB design<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When employed together, the PWM modulator and AFIR conversion stage are immune to many of the problems that affect other discrete designs \u2014 where small errors in switching times or resistor values can generate distortion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, in order to realise the full potential of this conversion method, great attention must also be paid to other factors such as power supply, clocking, and perhaps most importantly, the physical layout of the circuit board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Organik uses an 8-layer circuit board, facilitating optimal delivery of power and clocks to the DAC. Power for the conversion stage is generated by a discrete regulator, and delivered using multiple internal power planes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clock traces are matched to within fractions of a millimetre, to ensure that every part of the DAC receives its clock at precisely the same time. All these elements work in harmony to create an analog signal with incredibly low levels of noise and distortion \u2014 far lower than anything we\u2019ve ever achieved before. \n \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
