DSD1024, PCM1536 - Are you ready?

Guys,

The long-awaited DSP board upgrade is here, almost!

Our flagship Terminator DAC has been a successful reference-grade DAC, staying strong and highly praised in the audiophile community; it has been highly sought after since 2017. Nonetheless, we've been working behind the scene to seek further improvements to what was already considered a high-end DAC.

Some of you might heard the rumours of this upgrade way back in 2018. We took a considerably long time to redevelop the core Digital Signal Processing FPGA, tested various USB Audio Interface solutions, run through thousand of tests, to arrive at where we are today. These hard works are necessary to make sure we are convinced and satisfied before releasing this important upgrade, your way.

Technical Highlights

• Improved Digital Signal Processing FPGA

• Four(4) sets of Linear Technology LDO Voltage Regulators

• DSD1024, PCM1536 Supports On USB & I²S Input

The new DSP board supports DSD1024, PCM1536 ultra-high-res formats. For those who have been waiting for this on the fence, now it's your chance to get hold of one!

The DSP board upgrade will be rolled out to the flagship Terminator DAC, followed by Pontus, and Venus. It's available to preorder at Vinshine Audio here. Oh yes, certainly, the new Terminator DAC shipped from today onward, come with the new DSP board.

We strive to keep the high-end equipment price affordable. Terminator price tag shall remain the same for now but we couldn't be sure how long we can hold on to it. We seek your kind understanding should we decide to raise the price a little to cover the hard works and time we invested.

You've our promise not to raise the price in the next 1 month. Last advice, grab fast before the price hike!
