Mô tả sản phẩm: NAD C 510 Direct Digital Preamp DAC
Direct Digital Design: Unlike a traditional analog preamplifier, the C 510 Direct Digital Preamp/DAC does not produce any noise or distortion that can obscure detail and limit the performance of many systems. By performing preamp functions like volume and source selection in the digital domain, the C 510 shortens the signal path and offers audiophile sound quality; whether feed your power amplifier or active loudspeakers.
Digital Connectivity: The C 510 includes connectivity for a wide variety of digital sources.
USB Type-B Port: A USB Type-B port is used for direct connection to your Windows (XP SP2 or 7) PC or Mac (10.6 or later) computer. This port operates in asynchronous mode, meaning that the C 510 provides the precision clock for the USB data rather than the often imprecise clock in the computer; plus it supports sampling rates of up to 192kHz and 24-bit depth. In order to stream your computer audio via the C 510, the "NAD USB Audio driver" must be downloaded from the NAD website.
Dual HDMI Inputs: Two HDMI inputs with a video pass through provide a secure encrypted path for High Res Audio, and allow the C 510 to perform a limited role as a video switcher. The 2-channel PCM audio track that is present on all video programming is stripped from the unit's HDMI output with the video passing untouched to a connected video display. The stripped 2-channel PCM signal is output at the Preamp/DAC's analog outputs; there is no multichannel or surround decoding.
3 SPDIF Inputs: Also included are three SPDIF digital inputs which are all 24-bit/192kHz capable. An optical (toslink), coaxial (RCA) and AES/EBU (XLR) input make up the three SPIDF digital inputs.
Note: A particular source input can be renamed according to your preference. You can use up to 16 characters in renaming a source input. Below is the procedure on how to rename a source input. There are no analog inputs.
Balanced & Unbalanced Analog Outputs: The NAD C 510 Direct Digital Preamp/DAC is fitted with balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA analog outputs. The Preamp/DAC's analog output section is driven by a Class A biased operation amplifier for the very best performance and reliability.
Optimized Power Supply & Circuitry: NAD has taken special care designing the power supply and critical circuit layout to optimize the performance of the premium parts used extensively throughout the C 510.
Digital Volume Control: Because the volume level is controlled by mathematics in the digital domain, there is no mechanical or electrical imprecision; all volume levels have exactly the same circuit conditions. The unit's volume control can be set to "Fixed" or "Variable".
Remote Control: The control interface of the NAD C 510 couldn't be simpler with Power, Input Selection, and Volume Control on both the front-panel and the supplied IR remote. 12V triggers, an IR input, and a RS-232 port allow for system automation interface.
+12V Trigger Input: With this 3.5mm input triggered by a 12V DC supply, the C 510 can be switched On remotely from standby mode by compatible devices such as amplifiers, preamplifiers, receivers, etc. If the 12V DC supply is cut off, the C 510 will return to standby mode.
+12V Trigger Output: The +12V Trigger Output (3.5mm) is used for controlling external equipment that is equipped with a +12V trigger input. This output will be 12V when the C 510 is On and 0V when the unit is either Off or in standby mode.
IR Input: This 3.5mm input is connected to the output of an IR (infrared) repeater (Xantech or similar) or the IR output of another component to allow control of the C 510 from a remote location.
RS-232 Port: NAD is a certified partner of AMX and Crestron and fully supports these external devices via its RS-232 serial port.. Check out the NAD website for information about AMX and Crestron compatibility with NAD.
Front-Panel Display: Selected input and incoming sample rate are displayed on the Preamp/DAC's front-panel display. Auto Display gives the use the option to turn off the Vacuum Fluorescent Display after 15 minutes of no user interaction and no remote control command.
Auto Standby: The C 510 can be set to go to standby mode automatically if there is no user interface interaction and no active source within 30 minutes.
