One of the main drivers behind the extraordinary performance of Scarlatti is the patented dCS Ring DAC, which is a discrete balanced design and does not use any off-the-shelf DAC chips commonly found in other manufacturers' product. Scarlatti DAC uses an enhanced version of our Ring DAC, improved through increased processing power, faster FPGAs (Field Programmable Gate Arrays), separate power supplies for all things digital and analogue and a quieter electrical environment.
Scarlatti DAC features standard AES3, SPDIF and SDIF-2 inputs in addition to the IEEE 1394 interface. The digital volume control allows direct connection to a power amplifier, there is no need for a preamplifier. Maximum output can be either two or six volts to suit different amp/speaker combinations. Four filters are provided in DSD mode to allow listeners to tailor system response.
The unit can be used in Master mode to provide a clock for the source or be locked to an external word clock signal generated by a dCS Master Clock - this produces a substantial performance improvement.
The PCM inputs on all our DACs are industry standard AES/EBU, SPDIF or SDIF interfaces. There should be no difficulty using them with other manufacturers' equipment, provided it also complies with industry standards.
All of the Scarlatti products benefit from our ‘soft' approach to programmable logic, which allows new software to be loaded from a dCS update disc to add new features and adapt to changes in digital formats.
Output impedance is 52Ω, maximum load is 600Ω (a 10kΩ load is recommended).
digital I/O
INPUTS
IEEE 1394 interface on 2x 6-way connectors. The interface accepts dCS-encrypted DSD (1 bit data at 2.822MS/s).
2x AES/EBU on 3-pin female XLR connectors. Each will accept up to 24 bit PCM at 32, 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, 176.4 & 192kS/s.
OR as a Dual AES pair at 88.2, 96, 176.4 or 192kS/s.
3x SPDIF on 2x RCA Phono and 1x BNC connectors. Each will accept up to 24 bit PCM at 32, 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, 176.4 & 192kS/s.
1x SPDIF optical on a Toslink connector, will accept up to 24 bit PCM at 32, 44.1, 48, 88.2 & 96kS/s.
1x SDIF-2 interface on 2x BNC connectors, will accept up to 24 bit PCM at 32, 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96kS/s or SDIF-2 DSD (auto-selected). If the unit is not in Master mode, this interface requires a compatible word clock input, locked to the data rate.
word clock I/O
INPUT
Word Clock Input on 1x BNC connector. Accepts standard word clock at 32, 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, 176.4 &192kHz. The data rate can be the same as the clock rate or an exact multiple (0.5x, 1x, 2x, 4x) of the clock rate.
OUTPUT
Word Clock Output on 1x BNC connector. Outputs 44.1kHz In Master mode.
clock frequencies
44.1kHz in Master Mode. Calibrated within +/-10ppm, not temperature compensated.
residual noise
Better than -110dB0 @ 20Hz - 20kHz unweighted. (6V Setting)
spurious responses
Better than -100dB0 @ 20Hz - 20kHz.
filters
PCM mode - 4 filters give different trade-offs between the Nyquist image rejection and the phase response.
2 extra filters (5 & 6) are available at 44.1kS/s. Filter 5 is a "Classic" sharp filter with linear phase and pre-ringing, while Filter 6 is an asymmetrical "Apodizing" filter with non-linear phase and no pre-ringing.
2 extra asymmetrical filters (5 & 6) are available at 176.4 kS/s and 192 kS/s.
DSD mode - 4 filters progressively reduce out-of-audio band noise level (inherent in the 1-bit nature of DSD).
