Description

Ideon Audio Absolute DAC – State-of-the-Art Digital Conversion

The Ideon Audio Absolute DAC sets a new benchmark in digital-to-analog conversion, delivering an uncompromising listening experience. Engineered with proprietary in-house technologies and modular design, the Absolute DAC integrates cutting-edge innovations that make it one of the most advanced digital playback systems available today.

Unmatched Digital Precision

At the core of the Absolute DAC is the ESS ES9038PRO 32-bit, 8-channel DAC, renowned for its industry-leading dynamic range of up to 140 dB. The DAC is supported by custom-designed firmware and advanced digital filters, ensuring every detail of the audio signal is preserved with absolute clarity. Ideon’s proprietary Triple Distillation USB input effectively eliminates digital noise, offering a pristine signal path that enhances both micro and macro dynamics.

Revolutionary Power Supply and Analog Stage

The Absolute DAC features a 17-stage ultra-low noise power reservoir, utilizing 17 state-of-the-art regulators and over 80 audio-grade capacitors. This extensive power architecture provides stable, clean, and abundant power, ensuring unparalleled signal integrity. The upgraded analog stage introduces symmetrical, ultra-low noise power supplies, which contribute to a highly dynamic sound with remarkable tonal purity.

Precision Clocks and Noise Elimination

To maintain phase accuracy and reduce jitter, the Absolute DAC is equipped with three ultra-low jitter femto clocks, each with its own dedicated power supply. These clocks ensure that the signal remains phase-accurate throughout the conversion process, creating an expansive soundstage and exceptional timing. Additionally, the DAC features active bridges and proprietary noise elimination technologies that further elevate the signal’s purity.

Modular and Future-Proof Design

The Absolute DAC is built with future-proofing in mind, featuring a modular construction that allows for easy upgrades as new technologies emerge. Its single-block, CNC-milled aluminum chassis ensures a rigid, vibration-free environment for the sensitive electronics housed within, enhancing both durability and sound quality.
