The best all-rounded Blu-ray player with a seductive Class-A Triode sound signature. Musical, warm and smooth sounding..Extracting high-quality audio from Blu-ray players are problematic in that the HDMI signal format interleaves AV data into a single transmission medium. While a convenient means of transferring AV data between components, the process of combining these signals invariably imparts a level of digital jitter to the audio data sometimes as high as seven nanoseconds. For comparison, a good CD player’s jitter specification is in the picosecond range, i.e., three orders of magnitude less. In practical terms, it is difficult to decode HDMI audio without employing extensive re-clocking circuits, thus inflating the cost of a good HDMI audio pre-processor.The simplest, most cost-effective way of dealing with the analog audio issue is at its source. By replacing the analog output circuit board with a proprietary design,
All 8-channels have been re-engineered to deliver ultimate audio performance.
Onboard linear processing circuitry delivers highly regulated and filtered DC power to all analog output stages for lowest noise and distortion performance.
output stage designed to avoid the need for a signal-degrading muting circuitry.
Advanced analog filters eliminate phase shifting within the audible bands.
High performance op-amps for a warm, vibrant, seductive sound.
The 93NE board’s sonic goal was for 12AX7-type triode characteristics without tubes.
