USB DDC that can add digital audio output to laptops, etc.

North Flat Japan has released FX-AUDIO-brand USB DDC (D/D converter) "FX-D03J" on the company's direct sales site that can add digital audio output to laptops and tablets.The direct sales price is 2,430 yen.

The optical digital output and the coaxial digital output are established each, and the high -resolution output is up to 96kHz/24bit.2 Simultaneous use of output is possible.It is said that it can be used for a wide range of purposes, from the use of digital audio outputs on devices such as laptops and tablets, or wanting to isolate noise from PCs by optical connection.

Renewed products with the same model number and redesigned the board circuit.It has been changed from the conventional "VT1728A" to the new generation of IC bravo "SA9023", which has improved the basic performance by renewing the circuit.

The reason for changing the IC is for "discontinued products and the distribution inventory in the electronic component market", and the parts configuration has been changed accordingly.Due to the fluctuations in the manufacturing cost, the selling price has been revised from 2,130 yen to 2,430 yen.

Pursuing noise and jitter measures by adopting audio capacitors and low noise series regulators.In addition, in order to maintain good output characteristics by lowering the output load of the audio controller IC, a signal level is generated by logic IC as well as the DDC in the middle and high price range, and created a signal level optimized for each light/coaxial output terminal.The transmission quality is enhanced.

The input is the USB-B terminal, USB Audio Class 1.Supports 0.External power supply is unnecessary because it operates with USB bus power.The body size is 40 x 81 x 25mm (width x depth x height) and weighs 94g.The color is black.A USB cable with a length of about 20cm is included.
