Couple questions.. .Does 16-bit 48 kS/s mean it's a sort-of oversampler? What's kS/s?
I'm guessing it means a 48Khz sampling rate, which many PC based sound cards use. Unfortunately that doesn't reflect whether it over samples or not.
Yes it oversamples 8x with a bit depth of 16bit. The 1.1 USB port is compatible with all computers and is quite sufficeint for this application. The power which is provided by the computer is regenerated to pure DC. Basically it electronically decouples the PS from the USB output and all data paths from your computer. The USB powers up to 500mv @5V. Data travels in real time with NO correction.
Well too much info for me but hope it helps. The bottom line is how it sounds. Will have one tomorrow to try out. When time permits and we have more units [ SOLD OUT TO DATE } a tour is in order. So boys get your Nervosa warmed up.
BTW we will be offering Furutech ICs, speaker cable and powercord kits for you DIYers out there. Were talking well below retail of a built unit. from the beginning of their line to the top. Kits can be customized as required for your individual needs.
